Jog Road Company's cost system assigns MSDA expenses to customers using a rate of 33% of sales revenue. The new CFO has discovered that Jog Roads's customers differ greatly in their ordering patterns and interaction with the company's sales force. Because the CFO believes Jog Road's cost system does not accurately assign MSDA expenses to customers, he developed an ABC system and gathered the following information.

Austin Brooke

Sales $860,000 $790,000

Cost of Goods Sold 415,000 380,000

Sales representative travel 10,000 83,000

Service customers 37,000 229,000

Handle customer orders 9,000 26,000

Ship to customers 48,000 150,000
