Question

Workshape Manufacturing has two classes of distributors: JIT distributors and non-JIT distributors. The JIT distributor places small, frequent orders, and the non-JIT distributor tends to place larger, less frequent orders.

Both types of distributors purchase the same product.

The customer activities and costs for the previous quarter are as follows:Activity JIT distributors Non-JIT distributorsSales Orders 500 30Sales Calls 30 30Service Calls 200 90Average Order Size 90 1,400Manufacturing Cost/Unit $50 $50Customer Costs:Processing Sales Orders $160,000Selling Goods $155,000Servicing Goods $195,000Total $500,000Calculate the activity rate for servicing goods. (Note: Round answer to two decimal places.)
a. $1,000.54 per service callb. $680.50 per service callc. $750.10 per service calld. $672.41 per service calle. $1,089.25 per service call

Answer 1

Answer:

d. $672.41 per service call

Explanation:

The computation of the activity rate for servicing goods is shown below:

= (Total servicing good cost) ÷ (Total service calls)

= $195,000 ÷ 290

= $672.41 per service call

The total service call would be

= JIT distributors + Non-JIT distributors

= 200 + 90

= 290
