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.
