Compute the total activity costs


Worley Company buys surgical supplies from a variety of manufacturers and then resells and delivers these supplies to hundreds of hospitals. Worley sets its prices for all hospitals by marking up its cost of goods sold to those hospitals by 8% For example, if a hospital buys supplies from Worley that had cost Worley $100 to buy from manufactures, Worley would charge the hospital $108 to purchase these supplies.

For years, Worley believed that the 8% markup covered its selling and administrative expenses and provided a reasonable profit. However, in the face of declining profits Worley decided to implement an activity-based costing system to help improve its understanding of customer profitability. The company broke its selling and administrative expenses into five activities as shown below:

Activity Cost Pool Activity Measure Total Cost Total Activity
Customer deliveries Number of deliveries $ 696,000 8,000   deliveries
Manual order processing Number of manual orders
420,000   6,000   orders
Electronic order processing Number of electronic orders
224,000   14,000   orders
Line item picking Number of line items picked
