Activity-Based Supplier Costing

Clearsound uses Alpha Electronics and La Paz Company to buy two electronic components used in the manufacture of its cell phones: Component 125X and Component 30Y. Consider two activities: testing components and reordering components. After the two components are inserted, testing is done to ensure that the two components in the phones are working properly. Reordering occurs because one or both of the components have failed the test and it is necessary to replenish component inventories. Activity cost information and other data needed for supplier costing are as follows:

I. Activity Costs Caused by Suppliers (testing failures and reordering as a result)

Activity Costs    
Testing components $1,200,000
Reordering components 300,000

II. Supplier Data

The Ste. Marie Division of Pacific Media Corporation just started operations. It purchased depreciable assets costing $47 million and having a four-year expected life, after which the assets can be salvaged for $9.4 million. In addition, the division has $47 million in assets that are not depreciable. After four years, the division will have $47 million available from these nondepreciable assets. This means that the division has invested $94 million in assets with a salvage value of $56.4 million. Annual depreciation is $9.4 million. Annual operating cash flows are $27 million. Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis, recognizing the salvage values noted. Ignore taxes. Assume that the division uses beginning-of-year asset values in the denominator for computing ROI.

The Ste. Marie Division of Pacific Media Corporation just started operations. It purchased depreciable assets costing $35 million and having a four-year expected life, after which the assets can be salvaged for $7 million. In addition, the division has $35 million in assets that are not depreciable. After four years, the division will have $35 million available from these nondepreciable assets. This means that the division has invested $70 million in assets with a salvage value of $42 million. Annual depreciation is $7 million. Annual operating cash flows are $27.5 million. In computing ROI, this division uses end-of-year asset values in the denominator. Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis, recognizing the salvage values noted. Ignore taxes. Assume that all cash flows increase 10 percent at the end of each year. This has the following effect on the assets’ replacement cost and annual cash flows.

End of Year Replacement Cost Annual Cash Flow
1 $ 70,000,000 × 1.1 = $ 77,000,000 $ 27,500,000 × 1.1 = $ 30,250,000
