As such, the controller has confidence in the accuracy of this report. Home Theater Speakers Wireless Speakers Wireless Headphones Total Sales 1,500,000 1,200,000 900,000 3,600,000 Cost of goods sold 1,050,000 720,000 810,000 2,580,000 Gross profit 450,000 480,000 90,000 1,020,000 Marketing expenses 600,000 120,000 72,000 792,000 Income from operations (150,000) 360,000 18,000 228,000 In addition, the controller interviewed the vice president of marketing, who provided the following insight into the company's three products: The home theater speakers are an older product that is highly recognized in the marketplace. The wireless speakers are a new product that was just recently bunched. The wireless headphones are a new technology that has no competition in the marketplace, and it is hoped that they will become an important future addition to the companys product portfolio. Initial indications are that the product is well received by customers. The controller believes that the manufacturing costs for all three products are in line with expectations. Based on the information provided: 1. Calculate the ratio of gross profit to sales and the ratio of income from operations to sales for each product. 2. Write a brief (one page) memo using the product profitability report and the calculations in (1) to make recommendations to management with respect to strategies for the three products.arrow_forward

Naper has two primary productsgenerators and air compressors. The following report was prepared by the controller for Napers senior marketing management for the year ended December 31: Generators Air Compressors Total Revenue 4,200,000 3,000,000 7,200,000 Cost of goods sold 2,940,000 2,100,000 5,040,000 Gross profit 1,260,000 900,000 2,160,000 Selling and administrative expenses 610,000 Income from operations 1,550,000 The marketing management team was concerned that the selling and administrative expenses were not traced to the products. Marketing management believed that some products consumed larger amounts of selling and administrative expense than did other products. To verify this, the controller was asked to prepare a complete product profitability report, using activity-based costing. The controller determined that selling and administrative expenses consisted of two activities: sales order processing and post-sale customer service. The controller was able to determine the activity base and activity rate for each activity, as follows: Activity Activity Base Activity Rate Sales order processing Sales orders 65 per sales order Post-sale customer service Service requests 200 per customer service request The controller determined the following activity-base usage information about each product: Generators Air Compressors Number of sales orders 3,000 4,000 Number of service requests 225 550 A. Determine the activity cost of each product for sales order processing and post-sale customer service activities. B. Use the information in (A) to prepare a complete product profitability report dated for the year ended December 31. Compute the gross profit to sales and the income from operations to sales percentages for each product. (Round to two decimal places.) C. Interpret the product profitability report. How should management respond to the report?arrow_forward
