- 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_forwardBetter Finance (previously Bill Float), based in San Francisco, California, provides leasing and credit solutions to consumers and smal businesses.

The savings bank also tries to build in a $0.50 per month profit margin on these accounts. Further analysis of customer accounts reveals that for each $100 above the $500 minimum in average balance maintained in its transaction accounts, R&R Savings saves about 5 percent in operating expenses with each account. (Note: If the bank saves about 5 percent in operating expenses for each $100 held in balances above the $500 minimum, then a customer maintaining an average monthly balance of $1,000 should save the bank 25 percent in operating costs) For a customer who consistently maintains an average balance of $1,200 per month, how much should the bank charge in order to protect its profit margin? 05.00 4.68 O 0.32 325arrow_forwardAllocating Transaction Price to Performance Obligations and Recording Sales Maximum Inc.

- A clothing retailer is going to mail out 10,000 catalogues. It costs $2 to mail out each catalogue. When a customer places an order from a catalogue assume a profit of $50 per order is earned. It is assumed that 5% of those who receive a catalogue will place an order however, this number can vary. Use the file below to help you with your tables. Assume that: [total profit = total profit made from the orders – the amount spent on mailing out the catalogues]. a) Use a one-variable data table to determine how the total profit earned from the mailing will vary depending on a response rate between 4% and 10% (with increments of 2%). b) Create a two-variable data table to show how the total profit changes with a varying response rate and number of catalogues mailed. Vary the response rate between 4% and 10% with increments of 2% and vary the number of catalogues mailed from 10,000 to 30,000 at increments of 5000.arrow_forwardA mortgage service office has the following four activities involved in approving a loan application.
