Major League Baseball (MLB) consists of teams that play in the American League and the National League. MLB collects a wide variety of team and player statistics. Some of the statistics often used to evaluate pitching performance are as follows:

  • ERA: The average number of earned runs given up by the pitcher per nine innings. An earned run is any run that the opponent scores off a particular pitcher except for runs scored as a result of errors.
  • SO/IP: The average number of strikeouts per inning pitched.
  • HR/IP: The average number of home runs per inning pitched.
  • R/IP: The number of runs given up per inning pitched.

The following data show values for these statistics for a random sample of 20 pitchers from the American League for a season.

In the carnival game​ Under-or-Over-Seven, a pair of fair dice is rolled​ once, and the resulting sum determines whether the player wins or loses his or her bet. For​ example, using method​ one, the player can bet $2.00 that the sum will be under​ 7, that​ is, 2,​ 3, 4,​ 5, or 6. For this​ bet, the player wins $2.00 if the result is under 7 and loses $2.00 if the outcome equals or is greater than 7.​ Similarly, using method​ two, the player can bet $2.00 that the sum will be over​ 7, that​ is, 8,​ 9, 10,​ 11, or 12.​ Here, the player wins $2.00 if the result is over 7 but loses $2.00 if the result is 7 or under. A third method of play is to bet ​$2.00 on the outcome 7. For this​ bet, the player wins $8.00 if the result of the roll is 7 and loses $2.00 otherwise.

  1. Open Doors, Inc., produces two types of doors, interior and exterior. The company’s simple costing system has two direct cost categories (materials and labor) and one indirect cost pool. The simple costing system allocates indirect costs on the basis of machine-hours. Recently, the owners of Open Doors have been concerned about a decline in the market share for their interior doors, usually their biggest seller. Information related to Open Doors production for the most recent year follows:

Interior                                    Exterior           

Units sold                                                        3,200                                       1,800

Selling price                                                    $ 125                                       $ 200   

Direct material cost per unit                           $ 30                                         $ 45

Direct manufacturing labor cost per hour      $ 16                                         $ 16

Direct manufacturing labor-hours per unit     1.50                                         2.25

Production runs                                               40                                            85

Material moves                                               72                                            168

Machine setups                                               45                                            155

Machine-hours                                                5,500                                       4,500

The owners have heard of other companies in the industry that are now using an activity-based costing system and are curious how an ABC system would affect their product costing decisions. After analyzing the indirect cost pool for Open Doors, four activities were identified as generating indirect costs: production scheduling, material handling, machine setup and  assembly. Open Doors collected the following data related to the indirect cost activities:

Activity                                   Activity           Cost                 Activity Cost Driver

Production scheduling                        $95,000                       Production runs

Material handling                               $45,000                       Material moves

Machine setup                                     $25,000                       Machine setups

Assembly                                            $60,000                       Machine-hours
