| Customer hotline | $210 |
| Freight-in on materials | $1,100 |
Requirements
- 1. Classify each of the listed costs according to its category in the value chain (R&D, Design, Production, Marketing, Distribution, or Customer Service).
- 2. Further break down production costs into three subcategories: Direct Materials (DM), Direct Labor (DL), or Manufacturing Overhead (MOH).
- 3. Compute the total costs for each value chain category.
- 4. How much are the total product costs?
- 5. Suppose the managers of the R&D and design functions receive year-end bonuses based on meeting their unit’s target cost reductions. What are they likely to do? How might this affect costs incurred in other elements of the value chain?

This case is a manufacturer and could make specialty bikes, ski or outdoor equipment, computers, food like chocolates, saltwater taffy, cookies, or donuts, etc.
Create the balance sheet, income statement, and statement of the cash flow from the following information.
Use the following information for the learning experiences
Sales volume units = 11,000
Sales price/unit = $100
Variable manufacturing costs/unit = $60
Fixed manufacturing costs = $210,000
Fixed sales & administration costs = $190,000
Business income tax rate = 25%
Current assets = $250,000 (Cash $50,000, Accounts Receivables $100,000, Inventory $100,000)
Fixed assets = $750,000
Current liabilities = $200,000 (Accounts Payable $100,000, Short Term Debt $100,000)
Long Term Debt = $300,000
Owners' Equity = $500,000
