Keating& Associates is a law firm specializing in labor relations employee-related work. Keating & Associates received feedback from Punch, Inc., that its bid for the labor contract work was too high. This feedback prompted Keating to review its work activities and how they are reflected in its job-costing system. The review included the detailed analysis of how past jobs used the firm’s resources and interviews with personnel about what factors drive the level of indirect costs. Management concluded that a system with two direct-cost categories (professional partner labor and professional associate labor) and two indirect-cost categories (general support and secretarial support) would yield more accurate job costs.

Jansen Corp. has decided to implement an activity-based costing system for its in-house legal department. The legal department’s primary expense is professional salaries, which are estimated for associated activities as follows:
Reviewing supplier or customer contracts (Contracts) P270,000
Reviewing regulatory compliance issues (Regulation) 375,000
Court actions (Court) 862,500
Management has determined that the appropriate cost allocation base for Contracts is the number of pages in the contract reviewed, for Regulation is the number of reviews, and for Court is number of hours of court time. For 2010, the legal department reviewed 450,000 pages of contracts, responded to 750 regulatory review requests, and logged 3,750 hours in court.
How can the developed rates be used for evaluating output relative to cost incurred in the legal department? What alternative does the firm have to maintaining an internal legal department and how might this choice affect costs?
