Exercise 4-14 a1-a2, b (Video)

Venus Creations sells window treatments (shades, blinds, and awnings) to both commercial and residential customers. The following information relates to its budgeted operations for the current year.
 
   
Commercial
 
Residential
 
Revenues       $319,300       $472,500  
Direct materials costs   $45,000       $50,000      
Direct labor costs   120,000       280,000      
Overhead costs   79,300   244,300   167,500   497,500  
Operating income (loss)       $75,000       $(25,000)  

The controller, Peggy Kingman, is concerned about the residential product line. She cannot understand why this line is not more profitable given that the installations of window coverings are less complex for residential customers. In addition, the residential client base resides in close proximity to the company office, so travel costs are not as expensive on a per client visit for residential customers. As a result, she has decided to take a closer look at the overhead costs assigned to the two product lines to determine whether a more accurate product costing model can be developed. Here are the three activity cost pools and related information she developed:
 
Activity Cost Pools
 
Estimated Overhead
 
Cost Drivers
Scheduling and travel     $79,300     Hours of travel
Setup time     127,500     Number of setups
Supervision     40,000     Direct labor cost
 
Estimated Use of Cost Drivers per Product
   
Commercial
 
Residential
Scheduling and travel     750       550  
Setup time     500       250

 

Compute the activity-based overhead rates for each of the three cost pools. (Round overhead rate for supervision to 2 decimal places, e.g. 0.38.)
 

Determine the overhead cost assigned to each product line.
 

Compute the operating income for each product line, using the activity-based overhead rates.
