This analysis shows that the Standard product is in fact profitable, but the high cost of production and service for the small volume of the Deluxe product is unprofitable.
5.ABC gives more appropriate information to managers because it identifies the resources consumed by each product line, and assigns the costs of these activities accordingly. Using volume-based methods such as the plantwide rate distorts product cost because the focus of these methods is on the number of units of output, which may not be the primary factor causing costs to be incurred.
Problem 17-2B (25 minutes)
1. The major costs of making the boxes are designing the boxes, setting up machines to make the right cuts, cutting the cardboard, printing the boxes, obtaining the cardboard material, labor, and utilities, and shipping the boxes. Some of the costs, such as design and setup, are not related to volume, but are related to number of different products or number of batches. Some of the costs, such as materials and labor, are volume-driven.
2. Midwest has taken on more custom-made boxes for smaller-volume customers.
3.Yes. Midwest’s old customers bought the same type of boxes over and over, so the design costs were spread over many units. The new customers need different boxes for each different need, which means that design and machine configuration costs should be spread over a smaller number of units.
4.Possibly. If ABC had been used rather than a volume-based system, Midwest would have realized that small customers who want custom-designed and custom-made boxes require different activities than than those required by existing large-volume customers. With ABC the costs of activities associated with the special orders would be assigned only to those orders, rather than being shared by all orders. Midwest might have been using inaccurate cost information in setting its selling prices.
5.ABC gives managers information about the activities and the costs of these activities that will help them make strategic decisions and improve the accuracy of cost assignment.
