Question

Supermart Food Stores (SFS) has experienced net operating losses in its frozen food products line in the last few periods. Management believes that the store can improve its profitability if SFS discontinues frozen foods. The operating results from the most recent period are: 

 

 

Frozen Foods

Baked Goods

Fresh Produce

Sales

$ 120,000

$ 91,000

$ 158,175

Cost of goods sold

105,000

67,000

110,000

 

SFS estimates that store support expenses, in total, are approximately 20% of revenues.

 

The controller says that not every sales dollar requires or uses the same amount of store support activities. A preliminary analysis reveals store support activities for these three product lines are:

 

Activity (cost driver)

Frozen Foods

Baked Goods

Fresh Produce

Order processing (number of purchase orders)

10

45

100

Receiving (number of deliveries)

12

55

120

Shelf-stocking (number of hours per delivery)

2

0.5

4

Customer support (total units sold)

30,000

40,000

86,000

 

The controller estimates activity-cost rates for each activity as follows:

 

Order processing

$ 80

per purchase order

Receiving

110

per delivery

Shelf-stocking

15.25

per hour

Customer support

0.21

per item

 

Required:

  1. Prepare a product-line profitability report for SFS under the current costing system. (Loss amounts should be indicated by a minus sign. Round operating margin (loss) to 2 decimal places (i.e. .2134 should be entered as 21.34%).)                                              
  • Cost of goods sold
  • Customer support
  • Order processing
  • Receiving
  • Sales
  • Shelf-stocking
  • Store support
