Cane Company manufactures two products called Alpha and Beta that sell for $155 and $115, respectively. Each product uses only one type of raw material that costs $6 per pound. The company has the capacity to annually produce 110,000 units of each product. Its unit costs for each product at this level of activity are given below:

Alpha Beta
Direct materials $ 24 $ 12
Direct labor 23 26
Variable manufacturing overhead 22 12
Traceable fixed manufacturing overhead 23 25
Variable selling expenses 19 15
Common fixed expenses 22 17
Total cost per unit $ 133 $ 107

The company considers its traceable fixed manufacturing overhead to be avoidable, whereas its common fixed expenses are deemed unavoidable and have been allocated to products based on sales dollars.

Your company provides a variety of delivery services. Management wants to know the volume of a particular delivery that would generate $10,000 per month in operating profits before taxes. The company charges $20 per delivery.

The controller’s office has estimated overhead costs at $9,000 per month for fixed costs and $12 per delivery for variable costs. You believe that the company should use regression analysis. Your analysis shows the results to be:

Monthly overhead
=
$
26
,

per delivery
Monthly overhead=$26,501+$10.70 per delivery
Your estimate was based on the following data:

Month Overhead Costs Number of Deliveries
  1 $142,860.                  11,430
  2   151,890                     12,180

12   184,800.                  15,300
13   183,120.                   14,580
The company controller is somewhat surprised that the cost estimates are so different. You have been asked to recheck your work and see if you can figure out the difference between your results and the controller’s results.

Required

Analyze the data and your results and state your reasons for supporting or rejecting your cost equation.

Write a report that informs management about the correct volume that will generate $10,000 per month in operating profits before taxes.

Activity-Based Budget

Olympus, Inc., manufactures three models of mattresses: the Sleepeze, the Plushette, and the Ultima. Forecast sales for next year are 15,510 for the Sleepeze, 12,120 for the Plushette, and 5,430 for the Ultima. Gene Dixon, vice president of sales, has provided the following information:

  1. Salaries for his office (including himself at $66,650, a marketing research assistant at $44,000, and an administrative assistant at $23,900) are budgeted for $134,550 next year.
  2. Depreciation on the offices and equipment is $17,800 per year.
  3. Office supplies and other expenses total $20,600 per year.
  4. Advertising has been steady at $19,450 per year. However, the Ultima is a new product and will require extensive advertising to educate consumers on the unique features of this high-end mattress. Gene believes the company should spend 15 percent of first-year Ultima sales for a print and television campaign.
  5. Commissions on the Sleepeze and Plushette lines are 6 percent of sales. These commissions are paid to independent jobbers who sell the mattresses to retail stores.
  6. Last year, shipping for the Sleepeze and Plushette lines averaged $50 per unit sold. Gene expects the Ultima line to ship for $70 per unit sold since this model features a larger mattress.

Suppose that Gene is considering three sales scenarios as follows:

Pessimistic Expected Optimistic
Price Quantity Price Quantity Price Quantity
Sleepeze $174 12,800 $189 15,510 $189 18,010
Plushette 300 10,290 351 12,120 366 13,880
Ultima 860 1,820 960 5,430 1,140 5,430

Suppose Gene determines that next year's Sales Division activities include the following:

Research—researching current and future conditions in the industry

Shipping—arranging for shipping of mattresses and handling calls from purchasing agents at retail stores to trace shipments and correct errors

Jobbers—coordinating the efforts of the independent jobbers who sell the mattresses

Basic ads—placing print and television ads for the Sleepeze and Plushette lines

Ultima ads—choosing and working with the advertising agency on the Ultima account

Office management—operating the Sales Division office

The percentage of time spent by each employee of the Sales Division on each of the above activities is given in the following table:


Gene
Research
Assistant
Administrative
Assistant
Research - 75 % -
Shipping 30 % - 20 %
Jobbers 20 15 20
Basic ads - 10 35
Ultima ads 25 - 5
Office management 25 - 20

Additional information is as follows:

  1. Depreciation on the office equipment belongs to the office management activity.
  2. Of the $20,600 for office supplies and other expenses, $5,200 can be assigned to telephone costs which can be split evenly between the shipping and jobbers' activities. An additional $2,300 per year is attributable to Internet connections and fees, and the bulk of these costs (75 percent) are assignable to research. The remainder is a cost of office management. All other office supplies and costs are assigned to the office management activity.

Required:

1. Prepare an activity-based budget for next year by activity. Use the expected level of sales activity. If required, round answers to the nearest dollar.
