Pharoah Inc. manufactures wood poles. Pharoah Inc. has two responsibility centres, harvesting and sawing, which are both evaluated as profit centres. The harvesting division does all the harvesting operations and transfers logs to the sawing division, which converts the wood into poles for external clients. When operating at full capacity, the sawing division can convert 11,600 poles. Management is considering replacing this type of wood pole with another type of wood pole that can be sold at a lower price and could allow the firm to operate at full capacity all the time. The director of the sawing division suggested that the maximum price the division can pay for each log from harvesting is $30.40. Following is the information that supports this suggestion: Price per pole that the client would pay Direct labour costs Variable overhead costs Fixed overhead costs Raw material costs (other than logs) Profit margin Total costs and profit margin Maximum price for a log $35.00 4.40 8.80…

Asbury Coffee Enterprises (ACE) manufactures two models of coffee grinders. Personal and Commercial. The Personal grinders have a smaller capacity and are less durable than the Commercial grinders. ACE only recently began producing the Commercial model. Since the introduction of the new product, profits have been steadily declining, although sales have been increasing.

For the most recent year, which is representative, manufacturing overhead totaled $1,929,000 based on production of 30,000 Personal grinders and 10,000 Commercial grinders. Direct costs were as follows: Direct materials Direct labor Cost Driver Number of production runs Quality tests performed Shipping orders processed Total overhead Management has determined that overhead costs are caused by three cost…
