Product Costing and Decision Analysis for a Service Company

Blue Star Airline provides passenger airline service, using small jets. The airline connects four major cities: Charlotte, Pittsburgh, Detroit, and San Francisco. The company expects to fly 170,000 miles during a month. The following costs are budgeted for a month:

Fuel $2,120,000
Ground personnel 788,500
Crew salaries 850,000
Depreciation 430,000
Total costs $4,188,500

Blue Star management wishes to assign these costs to individual flights in order to gauge the profitability of its service offerings. The following activity bases were identified with the budgeted costs:

Airline Cost Activity Base
Fuel, crew, and depreciation costs Number of miles flown
Ground personnel Number of arrivals and departures at an airport

The size of the company's ground operation in each city is determined by the size of the workforce. The following monthly data are available from corporate records for each terminal operation: Show work notes

Terminal City Ground Personnel Cost Number of Arrivals/Departures

Pittsburgh 97,500 130
Detroit 129,000 150
San Francisco 306,000 340
Total $788,500 940

Three recent representative flights have been selected for the profitability study. Their characteristics are as follows:

Description Miles Flown Number of Passengers Ticket Price per Passenger
Flight 101 Charlotte to San Francisco 2,000 80 $695.00
Flight 102 Detroit to Charlotte 800 50 441.50
Flight 103 Charlotte to Pittsburgh 400 20 382.00

Joe has an annual income of $80,000. His employer pays all of his health insurance premiums.
Joe expects to incur $2,000 in unreimbursed medical expenses for the year. He pays an average
federal tax rate of 22%. In addition, his state has a flat 3% income tax rate. Thus, his total
income taxes paid will be equal to 25% of his taxable income. Joe expects to deduct $15,000
from his annual income for income tax purposes.
a. How much income tax will Joe pay in total (state plus federal)?

b. How much FICA (payroll) tax will Joe pay? How much will his employer pay? What
fraction of the total payroll tax can be attributed to Medicare?

c. Joe decides to redirect $2,000 of his salary to a flexible spending account. This
contribution is considered a salary reduction, which means it reduces both the payroll
taxes and the income taxes Joe needs to pay. What are the total taxes Joe needs to pay
now? How much money has he saved?

Tami Tyler opened Tami’s Creations, Inc., a small manufacturing company, at the beginning of the year. Getting the company through its first quarter of operations placed a considerable strain on Ms. Tyler’s personal finances. The following income statement for the first quarter was prepared by a friend who has just completed a course in managerial accounting at State University.

Tami’s Creations, Inc.

Income Statement

For the Quarter Ended March 31

Sales (28,700 units) $ 1,148,000
Variable expenses:
Variable cost of goods sold $ 441,980
Variable selling and administrative 193,725 635,705
Contribution margin 512,295
Fixed expenses:
Fixed manufacturing overhead 282,130
Fixed selling and administrative 243,515 525,645
Net operating loss $ ( 13,350)

Ms. Tyler is discouraged over the loss shown for the quarter, particularly because she had planned to use the statement as support for a bank loan. Another friend, a CPA, insists that the company should be using absorption costing rather than variable costing and argues that if absorption costing had been used the company probably would have reported at least some profit for the quarter.

At this point, Ms. Tyler is manufacturing only one product—a swimsuit. Production and cost data relating to the swimsuit for the first quarter follow:

Units produced 31,700
Units sold 28,700
Variable costs per unit:
Direct materials $ 7.10
Direct labor $ 6.70
Variable manufacturing overhead $ 1.60
Variable selling and administrative $ 6.75

Required:

1. Complete the following:

a. Compute the unit product cost under absorption costing.

b. What is the company’s absorption costing net operating income (loss) for the quarter?

c. Reconcile the variable and absorption costing net operating income (loss) figures.

3. During the second quarter of operations, the company again produced 31,700 units but sold 34,700 units. (Assume no change in total fixed costs.)

a. What is the company’s variable costing net operating income (loss) for the second quarter?

b. What is the company’s absorption costing net operating income (loss) for the second quarter?

c. Reconcile the variable costing and absorption costing net operating incomes for the second quarter.
