bracelets produced. The customer who is interested in the special
bracelet order would like special filigree applied to the bracelets. This
filigree would require additional materials costing $10 per bracelet and
would also require acquisition of a special tool costing $457 that would
have no other use once the special order is completed. This order would
have no effect on the company’s regular sales and the order could be
fulfilled using the company’s existing capacity without affecting any
other order.
Required:
a. What effect would accepting this order have on the company’s net
operating income if a special price of $368.00 per bracelet is offered for
this order?
b. Should the special order be accepted at this price?

39. Most of the manufacturing overhead is fixed and unaffected by
variations in how much jewelry is produced in any given period.
However, $11 of the overhead is variable with respect to the number of
bracelets produced. The customer who is interested in the special
bracelet order would like special filigree applied to the bracelets. This
filigree would require additional materials costing $10 per bracelet and
would also require acquisition of a special tool costing $457 that would
have no other use once the special order is completed. This order would
have no effect on the company’s regular sales and the order could be
fulfilled using the company’s existing capacity without affecting any
other order.
Required:

42. Q-2
For years, Worley believed that the 6% markup covered its selling and
administrative expenses and
provided a reasonable profit. However, in the face of declining profits
Worley decided to implement an
activity based costing system to help improve its understanding of
customer profitability. The company
broke its selling and administrative expenses into five activities as
shown below:
Activity Cost Pool (Activity Measure)
Customer deliveries (Number of deliveries)
Manual order processing (Number of manual orders)
Electronic order processing (Number of electronic orders)
Line item picking (Number of line items picked)
Other organizationsustaining costs (None)
Total selling and administrative expenses
Worley gathered the data below for two of the many hospitals that it

Q-3
SecuriCorp operates a fleet of armored cars that make scheduled pickups
and deliveries in the Los
Angeles area. The company is implementing an activitybased
costing system that has four activity cost
pools: Travel, Pickup and Delivery, Customer Service, and Other. The
activity measures are miles for the
Travel cost pool, number of pickups and deliveries for the Pickup and
Delivery cost pool, and number of
customers for the Customer Service cost pool. The Other cost pool has
no activity measure because it is
an organization sustaining
activity. The following costs will be assigned using the activitybased
Costing

Driver and guard wages
Vehicle operating expense
Vehicle depreciation
Customer representative salaries and expenses
Office expenses
Administrative expenses
Total cost
Q-4
Reasons a company may decide not to use ABC include
ABC tends to be more expensive to implement and maintain than the
traditional method.
ABC does not conform to external reporting requirements.
Some arbitrary allocations will still occur and managers who are not
knowledgeable in the limitations of an ABC system may make
mistakes in pricing and other critical decisions.
When a company shifts from a traditional cost system in which
manufacturing overhead is applied based on direct labor-hours to an
activitybased
costing system with batch-level and product-level costs, the unit product
costs of low volume products typically decrease whereas the
unit product costs of high volume products typically increase.
in traditional costing some manufacturing cost may be excluded from
product cost

Read the following scenario below:
Leighton Beridon owns "Jeemp Farms", located near Weimar, TX. The
farm produces pecan trees and sod. He has so many orders from the
Houston metropolitan area that he is able to sell all his inventory each
year, but he is not netting as much as he has in past years. His daughter,
LieslBeridon, came home from college over Thanksgiving and
mentioned ABC costing, which she learned about in her cost accounting
48. class. Mr.Beridon does not really know what ABC costing is and is
skeptical as to whether it would be right for his business. He has hired
your company to educate him about ABC and whether or not he should
use an ABC system. Over the next few weeks, you will work towards
helping Mr.Beridon decide what is the best route for his company to
take.
Shortly after you get started, Mr.Beridon sends you an email stating that
he feels he needs to discontinue the sod portion of his business and focus
on his tree sector, as he can charge more per tree than he can charge for
a foot of sod. He sends you an email stating, "I can charge so much more
for a tree than a foot of grass. Therefore, I am planning on discontinuing
the sod portion of the business immediately as I make so much more on
the trees! I am going to plant all my sod acres with trees".
Write a 700- to 1,050-word paper plan for your boss explaining how
you will analyzeJeemp Farms.
Include the following:
Prepare an argument convincing him to hold off on his decision
and see the results of your analysis first. As you have not had time
to do any analysis yet, you need to convince Mr.Beridon to wait on
whether to discontinue his sod business.
Project potential benefits Mr.Beridon could gain from using an
ABC system.
Explain how ABC creates these benefits.
Your team is planning on conducting an analysis of whether ABC would
be beneficial to Mr.Beridon. Create a process for conducting this
analysis.
Include the following:
1. How could you apply the data in the company's general ledger?
2. Determine questions to ask Mr.Beridon.
3. Determine other information to gather.
4. Explain how this additional information could help you in your
analysis?
5. Explain how you would decide on a final recommendation.

61. Mr.Beridon received your requests for information and returned data
which you have compiled in an Microsoft® Excel® spreadsheet (see
document template). He also said, "We grow sod and trees at Jeemp
Farms. We sell the sod mainly to home builders in the area, although we
sell to some individuals who are purchasing square footages to re-sod
their yard. Many home builders will purchase to sod an entire
subdivision. They then may come back to us to purchase trees for the
yards. It really is a package deal. For builders like that, we are a one-
stop-shop. In most cases, however, we sell the trees to orchards and
some individuals. The purchaser is responsible for all shipping costs
related to their product.
"Our production process is different for each product. For sod, we
plant the seed, irrigate, cut, and roll the sod and then transport it. For the
trees, we plant the root stock, graft the tree, water until a particular
maturity and then dig it up and sell it. We inspect the plants as needed to
make sure we are producing a quality product that is disease-free.
"We have delayed purchasing some machinery that reduces time for
the planting of the trees because it is a large up-front cost and we don't
want to have a huge outlay of cash if our profits keep going down".
"The grass does not require as much irrigation as the trees, as it is at a
lower elevation than the tree acres and is closer to the creek; it gets a lot
of the run off".
"Historically, we have always been able to sell everything we
produce. Hopefully, that will continue since Houston is expanding
rapidly".
Compute the product costs for the sod and trees under traditional and
ABC costing using the Microsoft® Excel® spreadsheet.
Write a 700- to 1,050-word paper analyzingJeemp Farms and what data
and information you will consider.
Include the following:
Describe any factors that could skew your results. In other words,
explain if there is one method of costing that could make a product
look more favorable than it really is.
Justify whether Mr.Beridon should cut the sod portion of his
company.
62. Justify whether Mr.Beridon should cut the tree portion of his
company instead.
Describe other methods of analysis you could use to help you
come to a decision.
Describe any other qualitative or quantitative factors or changes to
