4 14.28 points eBook Textile Crafts Company (TCC) sells craft kits and supplies to retail outlets and through online sites such as Etsy.com. Some of the items are manufactured by TCC, while others are purchased for resale. For the products it manufactures, the company currently bases its selling prices on a product-costing system that accounts for direct material, direct labor, and the associated overhead costs. In addition to these product costs, TCC incurs substantial selling costs, and Roger Jackson, controller, has suggested that these selling costs should be included in the product pricing structure. After studying the costs incurred over the past two years for one of its products, skeins of knitting yarn, Jackson has selected four categories of selling costs and chosen cost drivers for each of these costs. The selling costs actually incurred during the past year and the cost drivers are as follows: Cost Category Sales commissions Hint Pay-per-click/Search engine optimization Cost of online sales Credit and collection Amount Cost Driver $ 814,500 Boxes of yarn sold to retail stores 453,240 158,200 Number of online leads Skeins sold online 99,900 Number of retail orders $ 1,525,840 Print References Total selling costs The knitting yarn is sold to retail outlets in boxes, each containing 12 skeins of yarn. The sale of partial boxes is not permitted. Commissions are paid on sales to retail outlets but not on online sales. The cost of online sales includes technology infrastructure costs and the wages of personnel who process the online orders. Jackson believes that the selling costs vary significantly with the size of the order. Order sizes are divided into three categories as follows: Retail Sales 1 to 10 boxes Order Size Small Online Sales Medium Large 1 to 10 skeins 11 to 20 skeins Over 20 skeins 11 to 20 boxes Over 20 boxes An analysis of the previous year's records produced the following statistics.
