Secure Data provides onsite data storage and server management services for five multisite companies in a tristate
Question:
Secure Data provides onsite data storage and server management services for five multisite companies in a tristate area. Secure Data’s costs consist of the cost of technicians and equipment that are directly traceable to the customer site and a pool of office overhead. Until recently, Secure Data estimated customer profitability by allocating the office overhead to each customer based on revenues. For 2012, Secure Data reported the following results:
Todd Burns, Secure Data’s new controller, notes that office overhead is more than 10% of total costs, so he spends a couple of weeks analyzing the consumption of office overhead resources by customers. He collects the following information:
1. Compute customer- level operating income using the new information that Todd has gathered.
2. Prepare exhibits for Secure Data similar to Exhibits 7- 8 and 7- 9. Comment on the results.
3. What options should Secure Data consider for individual customers in light of the new data and analysis of officeoverhead?
