Chapter 10, Problem 34E
Activity-Based Costing of Suppliers
Hult Games buys electronic components for manufacturing from two suppliers, Milan Components and Dundee Parts. If the components are delivered late, the shipment to the customer is delayed. Delayed shipments lead to contractual penalties that call for Hult to reimburse a portion of the purchase price to the customer.
During the past quarter, the purchasing and delivery data for the two suppliers showed the following:
The Accounting Department recorded $496,000 as the cost of late deliveries to customers.
Required
Assume that the average quality, measured by the percentage of late deliveries, and prices from the two companies will continue as in the past. What is the effective price for components from the two companies when late deliveries are considered?
