ABC Data; Resource -Capacity Planning; Nonfinancial Performance Indicators Zenon Computer (a fictitious company) competes at the retail level on the basis of customer service. It has invested significant resources in its customer service department. Recently, the company has installed a traditional activity-based costing (ABC) system to provide better-quality cost information for pricing, decision making, and customer-profitability analysis. Most of the costs of running the customer service department are considered committed (i.e., short-term fixed) costs (principally, personnel and equipment costs).
The budgeted cost for the upcoming period is $800,000. Activity analysis, recently conducted when the ABC system was implemented, revealed the following information: Activities % of Employee Time Estimated (Budgeted) Cost-Driver Quantity Handling customer order 75% 8,000 cusotmer orders Processing customer complaints 10% 400 customer complaints Conducting customer credit checks 15% 500 credit checks This is a 4 question problems. Questions 1 and 2 have been answered.
You need number 2 to do number 3. Required:
1. Has been answered already.
2. Has been answered already but you need number 2 to answer number
3. Suppose that during the upcoming period, activities (i.e., cost-driver quantities) are exactly as budgeted. Suppose, too, that the practical capacity level for each of these activities is 10,000 customer orders, 500 customer complaints, and 500 credit checks. Using cost-driver rates based on practical capacity levels for each activity, what is the cost assigned to each of the three activities? Also, what is the unused capacity and the associated cost of unused capacity for each activity? 3. What actions might the management of Zenon Computer take in response to the analysis conducted in response to (2) above? 4. What nonfinancial performance indicators do you recommend Zenon Computer monitor in terms of its customer service department? In general, how are these indicators chosen? (That is, how do you justify the items you are recommending?)
