Kragan Clothing Company manufactures its own designed and labeled athletic wear and sells its products through catalog sales and

retail outlets. While Kragan has for years used activity-based costing in its manufacturing activities, it has always used traditional costing in assigning its selling costs to its product lines. Selling costs have traditionally been assigned to Kraganâs product lines at a rate of 70% of direct materials costs. Its direct materials costs for the month of March for Kraganâs "high-intensity" line of athletic wear are $395,000. The company has decided to extend activity-based costing to its selling costs. Data relating to the "high-intensity" line of products for the month of March are as follows.
Activity Cost Pools Cost Drivers Overhead Rate Number of Cost Drivers Used per Activity
Sales commissions Dollar sales $0.05 per dollar sales $940,000
AdvertisingâTV Minutes $300 per minute 230
AdvertisingâInternet Column inches $10 per column inch 2,000
Catalogs Catalogs mailed $2.50 per catalog 62,400
Cost of catalog sales Catalog orders $1 per catalog order 8,750
Credit and collection Dollar sales $0.03 per dollar sales $940,000

Requied:
Compute the selling costs to be assigned to the "high-intensity" line of athletic wear for the month of March (1) using the traditional product costing system (direct materials cost is the cost driver), and (2) using activity-based costing.

Answer:

1. $276,500

2. $328,950

Explanation:

1. Computation for the selling costs to be assigned to the "high-intensity" line of athletic wear for the month of March using the traditional product costing system

Traditional product costing = $395,000 * 70%

Traditional product costing = $276,500

Therefore the selling costs to be assigned to the "high-intensity" line of athletic wear for the month of March using the traditional product costing system is $276,500

2. Computation for the selling costs to be assigned to the "high-intensity" line of athletic wear for the month of March using activity-based costing

Activity based costing :

Sales commissions ($940,000*$0.05) $47,000

Advertising - TV (230*$300) $69,000

Advertising - internet (2,000*$10) 20,000

Catalogs (62,400*$2.50) $156,000

Cost of catalog sales (8,750*$1) 8,750

Credit and collection ($940,000*$0.03) $28,200

Selling cost $328,950

Therefore the selling costs to be assigned to the "high-intensity" line of athletic wear for the month of March using activity-based costing is $328,950

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Customers have a preference for a one-stop shopping experience. In other words, customers would prefer to shop in a store that provides a variety of all the products and services they need.

For event marketers, it will be advantageous if they list all their services on a single website.  Customers requiring a wide range of services are likely to contact them for business. If they list services on different websites, customers will likely view them as different providers, offering varied services. This will make them continue searching for a preferred service provider.

givi [52]

Answer:

The loss while selling the car is : $26000-$18000=$8000

Total loss realized is  : $14000 +$8000 = $22,000
