- A local coffee shop has two major product lines—drinks and pastries. If the manager allocates common costs on any objective basis discussed in this chapter, the drinks are profitable, but the pastries are not. The manager is concerned that the supervisor at corporate headquarters will drop the pastries. The manager is concerned because a relative, who is struggling to make a go of a new business, supplies pastries to the coffee shop. The manager, therefore, decides to allocate all common costs to the drinks because “Drinks can afford to absorb these costs until we get the pastries line on its feet.” After assigning all common costs to drinks, both the drinks and pastries product lines appear to be marginally profitable. Consequently, corporate headquarters decides to continue the pastries line. Required How would you recommend the manager allocate the common costs between drinks and pastries? You are the assistant manager and have been working with the manager on the allocation…A local coffee shop has two major product lines—drinks and pastries.

Carlos Ruiz, one of the firms founders, appreciates the success his firm has enjoyed and wants to give something back to his community. He believes that an inexpensive accounting services clinic could provide basic accounting services for small businesses located in the barrio. He wants to price the services at cost. Since the clinic is brand new, it has no experience to go on. Carlos decided to operate the clinic for 2 months before determining how much to charge per hour on an ongoing basis. As a temporary measure, the clinic adopted an hourly charge of 25, half the amount charged by Fonseca, Ruiz, and Dunn for professional services. The accounting services clinic opened on January 1. During January, the clinic had 120 hours of professional service. During February, the activity was 150 hours. Costs for these two levels of activity usage are as follows: Required: 1. Classify each cost as fixed, variable, or mixed, using hours of professional service as the activity driver. 2. Use the high-low method to separate the mixed costs into their fixed and variable components. (Note: Round variable rates to two decimal places and fixed amounts to the nearest dollar.) 3. Luz Mondragon, the chief paraprofessional of the clinic, has estimated that the clinic will average 140 professional hours per month. If the clinic is to be operated as a nonprofit organization, how much will it need to charge per professional hour ? How much of this charge is variable? How much is fixed? (Note: Round answers to two decimal places.) 4. CONCEPTUAL CONNECTION Suppose the accounting center averages 170 professional hours per month. How much would need to be charged per hour for the center to cover its costs ? Explain why the per-hour charge decreased as the activity output increased. (Note: Round answers to two decimal places.)
