Jackson County Senior Services is a nonprofit organization devoted to providing essential services to seniors who live in their own homes within the Jackson County area.

Net operating income (loss) $ 40,300 $ 19,700 $ 42,600 $ (22,000)

*Allocated on the basis of program revenues.

The head administrator of Jackson County Senior Services, Judith Miyama, considers last year’s net operating income of $40,300 to be unsatisfactory; therefore, she is considering the possibility of discontinuing the housekeeping program.

The depreciation in housekeeping is for a small van that is used to carry the housekeepers and their equipment from job to job. If the program were discontinued, the van would be donated to a charitable organization. None of the general administrative overhead would be avoided if the housekeeping program were dropped, but the liability insurance and the salary of the program administrator would be avoided.

Required:

1-a. What is the financial advantage (disadvantage) of discontinuing the Housekeeping program?

1-b. Should the Housekeeping program be discontinued?

2-a. Prepare a properly formatted segmented income statement.

2-b. Would a segmented income statement format be more useful to management in assessing the long-run financial viability of the various services?

Following are the fixed portion within the costs provided above:

Fixed manufacturing Costs                             300,000                         500,000                        1,000,000

Fixed Selling and Admin Costs                      300,000                         200,000                           400,000

Now, Management believes it could increase state sales by 20%, without increasing any of the fixed costs, by spending an additional $50,000 per state on advertising. No change in inventories.  

  1. Prepare a contribution margin statement by state to determine how much each state operating profit would be for the additional $50000 advertising.
  1. Which state will provide the greatest profit return for a $50000 increase in advertising?

Mercer Asbestos Removal Company removes potentially toxic asbestos insulation and related products from buildings. There has...

Mercer Asbestos Removal Company removes potentially toxic asbestos insulation and related products from buildings. There has been a long-simmering dispute between the company’s estimator and the work supervisors. The on-site supervisors claim that the estimators do not adequately distinguish between routine work such as removal of asbestos insulation around heating pipes in older homes and nonroutine work such as removing asbestos-contaminated ceiling plaster in industrial buildings. The on-site supervisors believe that nonroutine work is far more expensive than routine work and should bear higher customer charges. The estimator sums up his position in this way: “My job is to measure the area to be cleared of asbestos. As directed by top management, I simply multiply the square footage by $2.50 to determine the bid price. Since our average cost is only $2.46 per square foot, that leaves enough cushion to take care of the additional costs of nonroutine work that shows up. Besides, it is difficult to know what is routine or not routine until you actually start tearing things apart.”

     To shed light on this controversy, the company initiated an activity-based costing study of all of its costs. Data from the activity-based costing system follow:

  Activity Cost Pool                Activity Measure Total Activity           
  Removing asbestos Thousands of square feet 1,000 thousand square  feet
  Estimating and job setup Number of jobs 500 jobs
  Working on nonroutine jobs Number of nonroutine jobs 100 nonroutine jobs
  Other (costs of idle capacity and
     organization-sustaining costs)
None    

Note: The 100 nonroutine jobs are included in the total of 500 jobs. Both nonroutine jobs and routine jobs require estimating and setup.

  Costs for the Year
  Wages and salaries $ 407,000
  Disposal fees 800,000
  Equipment depreciation 96,000
  On-site supplies 56,000
  Office expenses 300,000
  Licensing and insurance 490,000
  Total cost $ 2,149,000
  Distribution of Resource Consumption Across Activities

  Wages and salaries 50 % 10 % 30 % 10 % 100 %
  Disposal fees 70 % 0 % 30 % 0 % 100 %

  On-site supplies 60 % 25 % 15 % 0 % 100 %
  Office expenses 15 % 35 % 20 % 30 % 100 %
  Licensing and insurance 25 % 0 % 60 % 15 % 100 %
Required:

   

1.

Perform the first-stage allocation of costs to the activity cost pools.

     

2. Compute the activity rates for the activity cost pools.

      

3.

Using the activity rates you have computed, determine the total cost and the average cost per thousand square feet of each of the following jobs according to the activity-based costing system. (Round the "Average cost" to 2 decimal places.)

   

a. A routine 1,000-square-foot asbestos removal job.

         

b. A routine 2,000-square-foot asbestos removal job.

         

c. A nonroutine 2,000-square-foot asbestos removal job.
