Explanation / Answer

1)

Total of order processing cost and sales cost = $275,000 + 700,000 = $975,000

Distribution as per sales revenue in the ratio of 11:3

Large customers = 975,000*11/14 = $766,071

Small customers = 975,000*3/14 = $208,929

2) Activity based costing:

Order processing cost per order = $275,000/140 orders = $1964.29

Large customers = 20 orders * $1,964.29 = $39,286

Small customers = 120 orders * $1,964.29 = $235,715

Sales cost per sales call = $700,000 / 115 sales call = $6086.96 per call

Large customers = $6,086.96 * 40 sales calls = $243,478

Small customers = $6086.96 * 75 sales calls = $456,522

3)

Total no. of orders can be processed = 180

Fixed cost = 275,000

Cost per order = 275,000/180 = $1,527.78

Orders capacity currently not in use = 180-140 = 40

Used resources = 140 orders * $1,527.78 = $213,889

Unused resources = 40 orders * 1,527.78 = $61,111
