Problem 2-71 (Algo) Cost Allocation and Regulated Prices (LO 2-3)

The City of Imperial Falls contracts with Evergreen Waste Collection to provide solid waste collection to households and businesses. Until recently, Evergreen had an exclusive franchise to provide this service in Imperial Falls, which meant that other waste collection firms could not operate legally in the city. The price per pound of waste collected was regulated at 20 percent above the average total cost of collection.

Cost data for the most recent year of operations for Evergreen are as follows.
  

Administrative cost $ 414,000
Operating costs—trucks 1,350,000
Other collection costs 334,000

Data on customers for the most recent year are as follows.

Households Businesses
Number of customers 13,400 5,800
Waste collected (tons) 5,400 14,800

The City Council of Imperial Falls is considering allowing other private waste haulers to collect waste from businesses, but not from households. Service to businesses from other waste collection firms would not be subject to price regulation. Based on information from neighboring cities, the price that other private waste collection firms will charge is estimated to be $0.04 per pound (= $80 per ton). (1 ton = 2,000 pounds)

  

Evergreen's CEO has approached the city council with a proposal to change the way costs are allocated to households and businesses, which will result in different rates for households and businesses. She proposes that administrative costs and truck operating costs be allocated based on the number of customers and the other collection costs be allocated based on pounds collected. The total costs allocated to households would then be divided by the estimated number of pounds collected from households to determine the cost of collection. The rate would then be 20 percent above the cost. The rate for businesses would be determined using the same calculation.

Required:

a. Based on cost data from the most recent year, what is the price per pound charged by Evergreen for waste collection under the current system (the same rate for both types of customers)?

b. Based on cost and waste data from the most recent year, what would be the price per pound charged to households and to businesses by Evergreen for waste collection if the CEO’s proposal were accepted?

Households Businesses
Allocated cost per customer $92 correct $92 answer correct
Total allocated cost $ $
Average allocated cost per pound $ $
Price $ $

I am STUMPED. I cannot get the correct answer for total allocated cost, average allocated cost per pound or price. Help my accounting gods!

Thornton Academy is a profit-oriented education business. Thornton provides remedial training for high school students who have fallen behind in their classroom studies. It charges its students $1,895 per course. During the previous year, Thornton provided instruction for 1,000 students. The income statement for the company follows:

   

Revenue $ 1,895,000
Cost of instructors (1,292,000 )
Overhead costs (370,000 )
Net income $ 233,000

   
The company president, Andria Rossi, indicated in a discussion with the accountant, Sam Trent, that she was extremely pleased with the growth in the area of computer-assisted instruction. She observed that this department served 200 students using only two part-time instructors. In contrast, the classroom-based instructional department required 32 instructors to teach 800 students. Ms. Rossi noted that the per-student cost of instruction was dramatically lower for the computer-assisted department. She based her conclusion on the following information:

Thornton pays its part-time instructors an average of $38,000 per year. The total cost of instruction and the cost per student are computed as follows:

  

Type of Instruction Computer-Assisted Classroom
Number of instructors (a) 2 32
Number of students (b) 200 800
Total cost (c = a × $38,000) $ 76,000 $ 1,216,000
Cost per student (c ÷ b) $ 380 $ 1,520

   
Assuming that overhead costs were distributed equally across the student population, Ms. Rossi concluded that the cost of instructors was the critical variable in the company’s capacity to generate profits. Based on her analysis, her strategic plan called for heavily increased use of computer-assisted instruction.

Mr. Trent was not so sure that computer-assisted instruction should be stressed. After attending a seminar on activity-based costing (ABC), he believed that the allocation of overhead cost could be more closely traced to the different types of learning activities. To facilitate an activity-based analysis, he developed the following information about the costs associated with computer-assisted versus classroom instructional activities. He identified $288,000 of overhead costs that were directly traceable to computer-assisted activities, including the costs of computer hardware, software, and technical assistance. He believed the remaining $82,000 of overhead costs should be allocated to the two instructional activities based on the number of students enrolled in each program.

Required

Based on the preceding information, determine the total cost and the cost per student to provide courses through computer-assisted instruction versus classroom instruction. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round "Cost per student" to 2 decimal places.)

“That old equipment for producing carburetors is worn out,” said Bill Seebach, president of Hondrich Company....

“That old equipment for producing carburetors is worn out,” said Bill Seebach, president of Hondrich Company. “We need to make a decision quickly.” The company is trying to decide whether it should rent new equipment and continue to make its carburetors internally or whether it should discontinue production of its carburetors and purchase them from an outside supplier. The alternatives follow:


     Alternative 1: Rent new equipment for producing the carburetors for $198,000 per year.
     Alternative 2: Purchase carburetors from an outside supplier for $19.00 each.


     Hondrich Company’s costs per unit of producing the carburetors internally (with the old equipment) are given below. These costs are based on a current activity level of 30,000 units per year:

  Direct materials $ 5.20
  Direct labour 7.00
  Variable overhead 2.40
  Fixed overhead ($3.30 supervision, $1.80 depreciation,
    and $4.00 general company overhead)
9.10
  
  Total cost per unit $ 23.70

     The new equipment would be more efficient and, according to the manufacturer, would reduce direct labour costs and variable overhead costs by 25%. Supervision cost ($99,000 per year) and direct materials cost per unit would not be affected by the new equipment. The new equipment’s capacity would be 50,000 carburetors per year.

     The total general company overhead would be unaffected by this decision.


Required:
1. Seebach is unsure what the company should do and would like an analysis showing the unit costs and total costs for each of the two alternatives given above. Assume that 30,000 carburetors are needed each year.

b. What would be the per unit cost of the each subassembly manufactured internally? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

c. Which course of action would you recommend to the president?
