| Mainely Lobster | ||
| Income Statement | ||
| Year Ended December 31, 2021 | ||
| Sales | $2,160,000 | |
| Cost of goods sold | ||
| Direct materials | $640,000 | |
| Direct labor | $192,000 | |
| Manufacturing overhead | $320,000 | 1,152,000 |

| Fixed Selling expenses | 250,000 | |
| Total administrative expenses | 160,000 | 634,000 |
| Net operating income | $374,000 | |
Olivia has identified four activity cost pools and decided the distribution of overhead costs (manufacturing, administrative, and selling) across the four pools below:
| Activity Cost Pools | Supporting direct labor | Order processing | Customer accommodations | Organization sustaining | Total |
| Manufacturing overhead | 30% | 10% | 40% | 20% | 100% |
| Fixed selling expenses | 10% | 55% | 25% | 10% | 100% |
| Total administrative expenses | 5% | 25% | 10% | 60% | 100% |
Information on the costs associated with the four activity cost pools can found in the traditional income statement on the previous page.
Product-specific data:
|
| Fresh | Frozen |
| Units sold | 12,000 | 20,000 |
| Unit selling price | $55 | $75 |
| Direct materials per unit | $20 | $20 |
| Direct labor hours per unit | 0.2 | 0.2 |
| Direct labor rate (per direct labor hour) | $30 | $30 |
| Predetermined overhead rate (per direct labor hour) | $50 | $50 |
| Variable selling expenses per unit | $2 | $10 |
Data from the activity-based costing system:
| Expected activity | ||||
| Activity cost pool | Activity measure | Fresh | Frozen | Total |
| Supporting direct labor | Number of direct labor hours | 2,400 | 4,000 | 6,400 |
| Order Processing | Number of purchase orders | 300 | 200 | 500 |
| Customer accommodations | Number of customer requests | 200 | 0 | 200 |
| Organization sustaining | Not applicable | |||
Olivia considers customer accommodations as a product-level activity, because the cost associated with customer accommodations only incurs when customers order fresh lobster rolls, as mentioned before.
Production volumes are set equal to sales volumes since the company only make lobster rolls that they have orders for. Consequently, the company never has a beginning or ending work in process inventory, and it does not have a beginning or ending finished goods inventory either.
