Help allocate the annual rent expense among the four departments on the basis of relative square feet of floor space occupied.
A company rents a small building with 10,000 square feet of space for $100,000 per year. The rent is allocated to
the company's three departments on the basis of the value of the space occupied by each. Department 1
occupies 1,500 square feet of ground-floor space, Department 2 occupies 3,500 square feet of ground-floor
space, and Department 3 occupies 5,000 square feet of second-floor space. If rent for comparable floor space in
the neighborhood averages $15.00 per sq. ft. for ground-floor space and $10 per sq. ft. for second-floor space,
what annual rent expense should be charged to each department?

- Customers as a Cost Object Morrisom National Bank has requested an analysis of checking account profitability by customer type. Customers are categorized according to the size of their account: low balances, medium balances, and high balances. The activities associated with the three different customer categories and their associated annual costs are as follows: Additional data concerning the usage of the activities by the various customers are also provided: Required: (Note: Round answers to two decimal places.) 1. Calculate a cost per account per year by dividing the total cost of processing and maintaining checking accounts by the total number of accounts. What is the average fee per month that the bank should charge to cover the costs incurred because of checking accounts? 2. Calculate a cost per account by customer category by using activity rates. 3. Currently, the bank offers free checking to all of its customers. The interest revenues average 90 per account; however, the interest revenues earned per account by category are 80, 100, and 165 for the low-, medium-, and high-balance accounts, respectively. Calculate the average profit per account (average revenue minus average cost from Requirement 1). Then calculate the profit per account by using the revenue per customer type and the unit cost per customer type calculated in Requirement 2. 4. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION After the analysis in Requirement 3, a vice president recommended eliminating the free checking feature for low-balance customers. The bank president expressed reluctance to do so, arguing that the low-balance customers more than made up for the loss through cross-sales. He presented a survey that showed that 50% of the customers would switch banks if a checking fee were imposed. Explain how you could verify the presidents argument by using ABC.arrow_forwardWe are preparing a Departmental Income Statement.
