Customer Service Department cost charged to operating divisions
= [$72 per order × (2,610 orders + 9,580 orders)] + $695,400
= [$72 per order × 12,190 orders] + $695,400
= $877,680 + $695,400 = $1,573,080
Actual Customer Service Department cost not charged to operating divisions
= $1,600,909 − $1,573,080 = $27,829

For each of the following questions, refer back to the original data.
52. If Store B sales increase by $20,000 with no change in traceable fixed expenses, the overall company net operating income should:
A) increase by $2,500
B) increase by $5,000
C) increase by $8,000
D) increase by $12,000
Ans: C AACSB: Analytic AICPA BB: Critical Thinking AICPA FN: Reporting; Measurement LO: 1 Level: Medium
Solution:
Store B contribution margin ratio = $80,000 ÷ $200,000 = 40%
Additional net operating income = $20,000 × 40% = $8,000
53. The marketing department believes that a promotional campaign at Store A costing $5,000 will increase sales by $15,000. If its plan is adopted, overall company net operating income should:
A) decrease by $800
B) decrease by $5,800
C) increase by $5,800
D) increase by $10,000
Ans: A AACSB: Analytic AICPA BB: Critical Thinking AICPA FN: Reporting; Measurement LO: 1 Level: Medium
Solution:
Store A contribution margin ratio = $28,000 ÷ $100,000 = 28%
Change in net operating income = ($15,000 × 28%) − $5,000
= $4,200 − $5,000 = $800 decrease
54. A proposal has been made that will lower variable expenses in Store A to 62% of sales. However, this reduction can only be accomplished by an increase in fixed expenses of $8,000. If this proposal is implemented and sales remain constant, overall company net operating income should:
A) remain the same
B) decrease by $4,200
C) increase by $2,000
D) increase by $8,000
Ans: C AACSB: Analytic AICPA BB: Critical Thinking AICPA FN: Reporting; Measurement LO: 1 Level: Medium
Solution:
New amount for Store A variable expenses = $100,000 × 62% = $62,000
Change in net operating income = ($72,000 − $62,000) − $8,000
= $10,000 − $8,000 = $2,000 increase
55. If sales in Store B increase by $30,000 as a result of a $7,000 expenditure in fixed expenses:
A) the contribution margin should increase by $18,000
B) the segment margin should increase by $12,000
C) the contribution margin should increase by $11,000
D) the segment margin should increase by $5,000
Ans: D AACSB: Analytic AICPA BB: Critical Thinking AICPA FN: Reporting LO: 1 Level: Hard
Solution:
Store B contribution margin ratio = $80,000 ÷ $200,000 = 40%
Change in segment margin = ($30,000 × 40%) − $7,000
= $12,000 − $7,000 = $5,000 increase
56. Currently the sales clerks receive a salary of $7,000 per month in Store B. A proposal has been made to change from a fixed salary to a sales commission of 5%. Assume that this proposal is adopted, and that as a result sales increase by $20,000. The new segment margin for Store B should be:
A) $29,000
B) $32,000
C) $39,000
D) $45,000

58. The contribution margin ratio for Product C for June was:
A) 0%
B) 30%
C) 38%
D) 70%
Ans: B AACSB: Analytic AICPA BB: Critical Thinking AICPA FN: Reporting LO: 1 Level: Hard
Solution:
Company variable expenses = $1,500,000 × (100% − 38%)
= $1,500,000 × 62% = $930,000
Product C variable expenses = $930,000 − $450,000 − $270,000 = $210,000
Product C contribution margin = $300,000 − $210,000 = $90,000
Product C contribution margin ratio = $90,000 ÷ $300,000 = 30%
59. Common fixed expenses for Higgins Company for June were:
A) $45,000
B) $420,000
C) $150,000
D) $105,000
Ans: D AACSB: Analytic AICPA BB: Critical Thinking AICPA FN: Reporting LO: 1 Level: Hard
Solution:
Common fixed expenses = Total fixed expenses – Traceable fixed expenses
= $525,000 – ($180,000 + $150,000 + $90,000)
= $525,000 – $420,000 = $105,000

A) $4,400
B) $6,400
C) $11,200
D) $32,000
Ans: C AACSB: Analytic AICPA BB: Critical Thinking AICPA FN: Reporting LO: 1 Level: Medium
Solution:

Solution:
Variable cost charged to Video Department
= Budgeted variable cost per lab-hour × Actual labor-hours
= [$315,000 ÷ (18,000 + 27,000)] × 27,300 = ($315,000 ÷ 45,000) × 27,300
= $7 × 27,300 = $191,100

A) $264,600
B) $283,500
C) $302,400
D) $307,125
Ans: B AACSB: Analytic AICPA BB: Critical Thinking AICPA FN: Reporting LO: 5 Level: Medium
Solution:
Fixed cost charged to Audio department
= Audio’s percent of total capacity × Budgeted fixed costs
= [15,000 ÷ (15,000 + 25,000)] × $756,000 = (15,000 ÷ 40,000) × $756,000
= 37.5% × $756,000 = $283,500

B) $229,644
C) $241,167
D) $274,560
Ans: D AACSB: Analytic AICPA BB: Critical Thinking AICPA FN: Reporting LO: 5 Level: Easy
Solution:
Logistics Department cost allocated to West Division
= (Budgeted variable cost per unit × Actual shipments) + (Budgeted fixed costs × Percent of peak capacity required)
= ($44 per shipment × 3,000 shipments) + (($237,600 × 60%)
= $132,000 + $142,560 = $274,560
114. How much actual Logistics Department cost should not be allocated to the operating divisions at the end of the year?
A) $28,040
B) $0
C) $16,360
D) $11,680
Ans: A AACSB: Analytic AICPA BB: Critical Thinking AICPA FN: Reporting LO: 5 Level: Easy
Solution:
Actual cost = $332,880 + $253,960 = $586,840
Cost allocated to operating divisions
= [$44 per shipment × (4,300 + 3,000 shipments)] + $237,600
= [$44 per shipment × 7,300 shipments] + $237,600 = $321,200 + $237,600
= $558,800
Actual Logistics Department cost not allocated to operating divisions
= $586,840 − $558,800 = $28,040
