Ciena & Associates
The following customer segmented quarterly income statement is for Ciena and
Associates, a firm that performs legal services
Customers Koontz Davis Nello Total
Sales revenue $150,000 $750,000 $100,000 $1,000,000
Variable costs 125,000 600,000 80,000 805,000
Contribution margin $ 25,000 $150,000 $ 20,000 $ 195,000
Direct fixed costs 7,500 157,500 5,000 170,000
Allocated fixed costs 3,000 15,000 2,000 20,000
Profit (loss) $ 14,500 $ (22,500) $ 13,000 $ 5,000
Management is concerned about the significant losses associated with the Davis
account and would like to drop this customer. Allocated fixed costs are assigned to
customers based on sales revenue.
If Davis is dropped, total allocated fixed costs are assigned to the remaining
customers, and all variable and direct fixed costs for the Davis account will be
eliminated.
Required
a. Perform differential analysis. Assume keeping all customers is Alternative
1, and dropping the Davis account is Alternative 2.
b. Which alternative is best? Explain.
c. Summarize the result of dropping the Davis account.
d. Explain what happened to the profitability of the other two customers as a
result of dropping the Davis account.
e. Assume all the facts of this problem remain the same with one exception. As
a result of dropping the Davis account, Ciena and Associates is only able to
reduce the direct fixed costs associated with the Davis account by 90 percent.
The remaining 10 percent will not be eliminated for several more years. Does
this change Ciena's decision as to whether to drop the Davis customer?

1. The General Social Survey polled a sample of 209 people aged 18-30 in the year 2000, asking them how many hours per week they spend on the internet. The sample mean was 6.75 with a standard deviation of 7.71. A second sample of 541 people aged 18-30 was taken in 2006. For this sample, the mean was 7.34 and standard deviation of 10.93. Assume these are simple random samples from populations of people aged 18-30. Can you conclude that the mean number of hours per week spent on the internet increased between 2000 and 2006?
a. Do the hypothesis test with α=0.05 significance level.
b. Construct a 95% confidence interval for the difference in mean number of hours spend per week on the Internet between 2000 and 2006.
c. Calculate the Margin of Error for 95% confidence level.
