Worley Company buys surgical supplies from a variety of manufacturers and then resells and delivers these supplies to hundreds of hospitals. Worley sets its prices for all hospitals by marking up its cost of goods sold to those hospitals by 6%. For example, if a hospital buys supplies from Worley that had cost Worley $100 to buy from manufacturers, Worley would charge the hospital $106 to purchase these supplies. For years, Worley believed that the 6% markup covered its selling and administrative expenses and provided a reasonable profit. However, in the face of declining profits Worley decided to implement an activity-based costing system to help improve its understanding of customer profitability. The company broke its selling and administrative expenses into five activities as shown below: Activity Cost Pool (Activity Measure) Total Cost Total Activity Customer deliveries (Number of deliveries) $ 348,000 4,000 deliveries Manual order processing (Number of manual orders) 380,000 5,000 orders Electronic order processing (Number of electronic orders) 252,000 14,000 orders Line item picking (Number of line items picked) 742,500 450,000 line items Other organization-sustaining costs (None) 630,000 Total selling and administrative expenses $ 2,352,500 Worley gathered the data below for two of the many hospitals that it serves—University and Memorial (both hospitals purchased a total quantity of medical supplies that had cost Worley $35,000 to buy from its manufacturers): Activity Activity Measure University Memorial Number of deliveries 19 29 Number of manual orders 0 41 Number of electronic orders 16 0 Number of line items picked 180 230 Required: 1. Compute the total revenue that Worley would receive from University and Memorial. 2. Compute the activity rate for each activity cost pool. (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.) 3. Compute the total activity costs that would be assigned to University and Memorial. (Round your intermediate calculations and final answers to 2 decimal places.) 4. Compute Worley’s customer margin for University and Memorial. (Hint: Do not overlook the $35,000 cost of goods sold that Worley incurred serving each hospital.) (Loss amount should be indicated with a minus sign. Round your intermediate calculations and final answers to 2 decimal places.)

Many accounting and accounting-related professionals are skilled in financial analysis, but most are not skilled in manufacturing. This is especially the case for process manufacturing environments (for example, a bottling plant or chemical factory). To provide professional accounting and financial ¬services, one must understand the industry, product, and processes. We have an ethical responsibility to develop this understanding before offering services to clients in these areas.
Required: Write a one-page action plan, in memorandum format, discussing how you would obtain an understanding of key business processes of a company that hires you to provide financial services. The memorandum should specify an industry, a product, and one selected process and should draw on at least one reference, such as a professional journal or industry magazine.

Comprehensive Master (Operating) Budget
Bee Gee Distributors, a wholesale company, is considering whether to open a new distribution center near Bowling Green, Ohio. The center would open January 1, 2020. The economic outlook is reasonable, but extensive advance planning is required if such a commitment is to be made. As a part of the planning process, The Board of Directors requires a Master (i.e. Operating) Budgetfor the center’s first quarter of operations(i.e. January, February & March of 2020). In order to prepare anybudget, management must make reasonable assumptions about expected sales, inventory levels and cash flows.
SALES BUDGET: “What is the Profit Plan?”
** It all starts with a sales forecast **
a. January sales are estimated to be $400,000 of which $100,000 (25%) will be cash and $300,000 will be on credit. Management expects the above sales pattern to continue with an overall grow rate of 10% per month. Prepare a sales budget.
b. The company expects to collect 100% of the accounts receivable in the month following the month of the sale. Prepare a schedule of expected cash receipts.
c. Use the information developed above in requirements a and bto determine the amount of accounts receivable on the March 31 pro forma balance sheet and the amount of sales on the first quarter pro forma income statement.
_____________________________________________________________________
PURCHASES BUDGET: “What are our total needs, less what do we have”?
d. Cost of goods sold will be 60% of sales. Company policy is to budget an ending inventory balance equal to 25% of the next month’s projected cost of goods sold. Prepare an inventory purchases budget.
Note: For March analysis needs, Aprilcost of goods sold is expected to be $314,000.
e. All inventory purchases are on account. The company pays 70% of accounts payable in the month of purchase. It pays the remaining 30% in the following month. Prepare a schedule of expected cash payments for inventory purchases.
f. Use the information developed above in requirements d and eto determine the amount of cost of goods sold on the first quarter pro forma income statement and the amounts of ending inventory and accounts payable on the March 31 pro forma balance sheet.
ADMINISTRATIVE & SALES EXPENSE BUDGET:
g. Budgeted monthly selling and administrative expenses are:
Salary Expense |
$24,000 |
Sales Commissions |
5% of Sales |
Supplies Expense |
2% of Sales |
Utilities |
$ 1,400 |
Depreciation on New Equipment (see note below*) |
? |
Rent |
$ 3,600 |
Miscellaneous |
$ 900 |
*The capital expenditures budget shows that Bee Gee must purchase $100,000 of equipment on January 1 to establish the new center. Since the equipment supplier allows a thirty-day trial period, assume Bee Gee will pay for the equipment in January (i.e. by 1/31). Using Straight-line depreciation, the equipment is expected to have a 10-year useful life and a $10,000 salvage value.
SELLING AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSE BUDGET:
h. Sales commissions and utilities are paid in the month after the month in which they are incurred. All other expenses are paid in the month in which they are incurred. Prepare a schedule of cash payments for selling and administrative expenses.
