Med Max buys surgical supplies from a variety of manufacturers and then resells and delivers these
supplies to hundreds of hospitals. Med Max sets its prices for all hospitals by marking up its cost of goods
sold to those hospitals by 10%. For example, if a hospital buys supplies from Med Max that had cost Med
Max $100 to buy from manufacturers, Med Max would charge the hospital $110 to purchase these
supplies.
For years, Med Max believed that the 10% markup covered its selling and administrative expenses and
provided a reasonable profit. However, in the face of declining profits Med Max decided to implement an
activity-based costing system to help improve its understanding of customer profitability. The company
broke its selling and administrative expenses into five activities as shown below:

Under the traditional direct labor-hour based costing system, manufacturing overhead is applied to products
using the predetermined overhead rate computed as follows:
Predetermined
overhead rate
Estimated total manufacturing overhead cost

$2,470,000
98,800 DLHs*
= $25.00 per DLH
*24,000 units of Xactive @ 1.2 DLH per unit + 70,000 units of the Pathbreaker @ 1 DLH per unit = 28,800
DLHs + 70,000 DLHs = 98,800 DLHs
Consequently, the product margins using the traditional approach would be computed as follows:
Xactive
$3,168,000
Pathbreaker
$6,580,000

$ 9,748,000

Denny Asbestos Removal Company removes potentially toxic asbestos insulation and related products
from buildings. The companys estimator has been involved in a long-simmering dispute with the on-site
work supervisors. The on-site supervisors claim that the estimator does not adequately distinguish between
routine work such as removal of asbestos insulation around heating pipes in older homes and nonroutine
work such as removing asbestos-contaminated ceiling plaster in industrial buildings. The on-site
supervisors believe that nonroutine work is far more expensive than routine work and should bear higher
customer charges. The estimator sums up his position in this way: My job is to measure the area to be
cleared of asbestos. As directed by top management, I simply multiply the square footage by $4,000 per
thousand square feet to determine the bid price. Since our average cost is only $3,000 per thousand square
feet, that leaves enough cushion to take care of the additional costs of nonroutine work that shows up.
Besides, it is difficult to know what is routine or nonroutine until you actually start tearing things apart.
To shed light on this controversy, the company initiated an activity-based costing study of all of its
costs. Data from the activity-based costing system follow:
Activity Cost Pool
Removing asbestos
Estimating and job setup
Working on nonroutine jobs
Other (organization-sustaining
and idle capacity costs)
Activity Measure
Thousands of square feet
Number of jobs
Number of nonroutine jobs
Total Activity
480 thousand square feet
230 jobs*
21 nonroutine jobs
None
Not applicable
* The total number of jobs includes nonroutine jobs as well as routine jobs. Nonroutine jobs as well as
routine jobs require estimating and setup work.

Learning Objective: 07-02 Assign costs to cost pools

using a first-stage allocation.

Denny Asbestos Removal Company removes potentially toxic asbestos insulation and related products
from buildings. The companys estimator has been involved in a long-simmering dispute with the on-site
work supervisors. The on-site supervisors claim that the estimator does not adequately distinguish between
routine work such as removal of asbestos insulation around heating pipes in older homes and nonroutine
work such as removing asbestos-contaminated ceiling plaster in industrial buildings. The on-site
supervisors believe that nonroutine work is far more expensive than routine work and should bear higher
customer charges. The estimator sums up his position in this way: My job is to measure the area to be
cleared of asbestos. As directed by top management, I simply multiply the square footage by $4,000 per
thousand square feet to determine the bid price. Since our average cost is only $3,000 per thousand square
feet, that leaves enough cushion to take care of the additional costs of nonroutine work that shows up.
Besides, it is difficult to know what is routine or nonroutine until you actually start tearing things apart.
To shed light on this controversy, the company initiated an activity-based costing study of all of its
costs. Data from the activity-based costing system follow:
Activity Cost Pool
Removing asbestos
Other (organization-sustaining
and idle capacity costs)
Activity Measure
Thousands of square feet

* The total number of jobs includes nonroutine jobs as well as routine jobs. Nonroutine jobs as well as
