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 9%. For example, if a hospital buys supplies from Worley that cost Worley $100 to buy from manufacturers, Worley would charge the hospital $109 to purchase these supplies.

For years, Worley believed that the 9% 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:

Activity Cost Pool (Activity Measure) Total Cost Total Activity
Customer deliveries (Number of deliveries) $ 328,000 4,000 deliveries
Manual order processing (Number of manual orders) 518,000 7,000 orders
Electronic order processing (Number of electronic orders) 275,000 11,000 orders
Line item picking (Number of line items picked) 1,056,000 480,000 line items
Other organization-sustaining costs (None) 650,000
Total selling and administrative expenses $ 2,827,000

Worley gathered the data below for two of the many hospitals that it serves—University and Memorial (each hospital purchased medical supplies that had cost Worley $35,000 to buy from manufacturers):

Activity

Activity Measure University Memorial
Number of deliveries 18 26
Number of manual orders 0 46
Number of electronic orders 14 0
Number of line items picked 150 250

Required:

1. Compute the total revenue that Worley would receive from University and Memorial.

2. Compute the activity rate for each activity cost pool.

3. Compute the total activity costs that would be assigned to University and Memorial.

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.)

How is depreciation different from what you thought before reading and working with this chapter?

Someone else (lets get a lot of short responses - no one person needs to answer all questions, although I would like to hear your questions that arise from this discussion): What is book value? How is it different from market value?

Someone else - what is salvage value?

Someone else - what is depreciable cost?

Let me hear your questions on the different methods of depreciation. Why would you maybe choose to use "units of production" instead of straight-line? Lets try to get some short responses that you may use to follow up with questions for one another. Each student can focus on one of these questions. I think that works better than getting all questions answered by each student responding. I want to ensure that we are reading each other's work as it will generate questions and get us to a better understanding.
