Incremental cost allocation method:
The incremental method of alloting the costs is that method which makes a ranking of the user objects in the order of the most responsible user.
To determine: The allocation of revenue from the B+R package to each product of D using (a) Stand-alone method, (b) incremental method with B and R in turn as the primary product.

- The Camera Shop sells two popular models of digital SLR cameras (Camera A Price: 230, Camera B Price: 310). The sales of these products are not independent of each other, but rather if the price of one increase, the sales of the other will increase. In economics, these two camera models are called substitutable products. The store wishes to establish a pricing policy to maximize revenue from these products. A study of price and sales data shows the following relationships between the quantity sold (N) and prices (P) of each model: NA = 192 - 0.5PA + 0.25PB NB = 305 + 0.08PA - 0.6PB Construct a model for the total revenue and implement it on a spreadsheet.

- Global Reach, Inc., is considering opening a new warehouse to serve the Southwest region. Darnell Moore, controller for Global Reach, has been reading about the advantages of foreign trade zones. He wonders if locating in one would be of benefit to his company, which imports about 90 percent of its merchandise (e.g., chess sets from the Philippines, jewelry from Thailand, pottery from Mexico, etc.). Darnell estimates that the new warehouse will store imported merchandise costing about 16.78 million per year. Inventory shrinkage at the warehouse (due to breakage and mishandling) is about 8 percent of the total. The average tariff rate on these imports is 5.5 percent. Required: 1. If Global Reach locates the warehouse in a foreign trade zone, how much will be saved in tariffs? Why? (Round your answer to the nearest dollar.) 2. Suppose that, on average, the merchandise stays in a Global Reach warehouse for nine months before shipment to retailers. Carrying cost for Global Reach is 6 percent per year. If Global Reach locates the warehouse in a foreign trade zone, how much will be saved in carrying costs? What will the total tariff-related savings be? (Round your answers to the nearest dollar.) 3. Suppose that the shifting economic situation leads to a new tariff rate of 13 percent, and a new carrying cost of 6.5 percent per year. To combat these increases, Global Reach has instituted a total quality program emphasizing reducing shrinkage. The new shrinkage rate is 7 percent. Given this new information, if Global Reach locates the warehouse in a foreign trade zone, how much will be saved in carrying costs? What will the total tariff-related savings be?

- A school purchasing manager is seeking to buy tablets from either Entity A or Entity B and will pay shipping costs. The purchase price is $500 each. Entity A purchases the tablets from the manufacturer, Banana Industries (for $400). Entity A has the tablets shipped to its distribution center in Denver, and then ships them to schools when a sale is made. Entity A at times offers discounts to schools in accordance with its marketing strategy. On the other hand, Entity B sells tablets from a variety of manufacturers including Banana Industries. When a sale is made, Entity B remits the proceeds to the manufacturer, and retains a 10% commission (here $50). Entity B has no discretion as to the sales price. The manufacturer then ship the equipment to the customer. For each arrangement, indicate how much revenue and gross profit should be recognized.

The company has two salespeople that do more than just sell the products—they manage relationships with the bicycle shops to enable them to better meet consumers’ needs. The company’s sales reps visit the shops several times per year, often for hours at a time. The owner of Wheels is considering expanding to the rest of the country and would like to have distribution through 1,000 bicycle shops. To do so, however, the company would have to hire more salespeople. Each salesperson earns $40,000 plus 2 percent commission on all sales. Another alternative is to use the services of sales agents instead of its own sales force. Sales agents would be paid 5 percent of sales. Refer to Appendix 2 to answer this question.

Revenues were $1 million with net profit of $50,000 last year when the first “mega” Petal Providers floral outlet was opened. If the economy grows rapidly next year, Petal Providers expects its sales to growth by 50 percent. However, if the economy exhibits average growth, Petal Providers expects a sales growth of 30 percent. For a slow economic growth scenario, sales are expected to grow next year at a 10 percent rate. Management estimates the probability of each scenario occurring to be: rapid growth (.30); average growth (.50), and slow growth (.20). Petal Providers net profit margins are also expected to vary with the level of economic activity next year. If slow grow occurs, the net profit margin is expected to be 5…arrow_forward
