Question: The pasta maker segment reported a traditional income statement last year as follows: Pasta Maker Segment Income Statement Year Ended December 31, 2020 Sales $1,000,000
The pasta maker segment reported a traditional income statement last year as follows:
| Pasta Maker Segment | ||
| Income Statement | ||
| Year Ended December 31, 2020 | ||
| Sales |
| $1,000,000 |
| Cost of goods sold |
|
|
| Direct materials | $200,000 |
|
| Direct labor | 50,000 |
|
| Manufacturing overhead | 320,000 | 570,000 |
| Gross margin |
| 430,000 |
| Selling and administrative expenses |
|
|
| Variable Selling expenses | 40,000 |
|
| Fixed Selling expenses | 180,000 |
|
| Total administrative expenses | 120,000 | 340,000 |
| Net operating income |
| $90,000 |
My colleagues and KPMG have identified five activity cost pools and decided the distribution of overhead costs (manufacturing and nonmanufacturing) across the five pools below:
| Activity Cost Pools | Machining | Purchase orders | Design alterations | Customer relations | Segment sustaining | Total |
| Manufacturing overhead | 30% | 10% | 40% | 0% | 20% | 100% |
| Fixed selling expenses | 0% | 25% | 30% | 35% | 10% | 100% |
| Total administrative expenses | 25% | 0% | 0% | 30% | 45% | 100% |
Information on the costs associated with the three activity cost pools can found in the traditional income statement reported on the previous page.
Model-specific data:
|
| Standard | Advanced | Total |
| Sales | $600,000 | $400,000 | $1,000,000 |
| Direct costs |
|
|
|
| Direct materials | 125,000 | 75,000 | 200,000 |
| Direct labor | 30,000 | 20,000 | 50,000 |
| Variable selling expenses | 25,000 | 15,000 | 40,000 |
| Units sold | 5,000 | 2,000 |
|
| Unit selling price | $120 | $200 |
|
| Machine hours per unit | 0.4 MH | 0.6 MH |
|
Data from the activity-based costing system:
|
|
| Expected activity | ||
| Activity cost pool | Activity measure | Standard | Advanced | Total |
| Machining | number of machine hours | 2,000 | 1,200 | 3,200 |
| Purchase orders | number of purchase orders | 200 | 300 | 500 |
| Design alterations | Number of design alterations | 0 | 400 | 400 |
| Customer relations | Number of customers | 20 | 80 | 100 |
| Segment sustaining | Not applicable |
|
|
|
Next year, because of an expected increase in product demand, machine hours are expected to increase from 3,200 to 4,000. The company will not need any new machinery since the current machinery is highly underutilized. Assume that the new level of operations is within the segments relevant range. Will the activity rate for the cost pool of machining change next year? If so, how much? If not, could you explain why? Also, we expect that we will have a 10% increase in the number of customers, will the activity rate for the cost pool of customer relations change? If so, how much? If not, could you explain why?
