Q4. Shady Lady sells window coverings (shades, blinds, and awnings) to both commercial and residential customers. The following information relates to its budgeted operations for the current year. Commercial Residential Revenues $300,000 $480,000 Direct material costs $ 30,000 $ 50,000 Direct labor costs 100,000 300,000 Overhead costs 85,000 215,000 150,000 500,000 Operating income (loss) $ 85,000 ($ 20,000) The controller, Peggy Kingman, is concerned about the residential product line. She cannot understand why this line is not more profitable given that the installations of window coverings are less complex for residential customers. In addition, the residential client base resides in close proximity to the company office, so travel costs are not as expensive on a per client visit for residential customers. As a result, she has decided to take a closer look at the overhead costs assigned to the two product lines to determine whether a more accurate product costing model can be developed. Here are the three activity cost pools and related information she developed: Activity Cost Pools Estimated Overhead Cost Drivers Scheduling and travel $105,000 Hours of travel Setup time 70,000 Number of setups Supervision 60,000 Direct labor cost Expected Use of Cost Drivers per Product Commercial Residential Scheduling and travel 1,000 500 Setup time 450 250 Instructions (a) Compute the activity-based overhead rates for each of the three cost pools, and deter- mine the overhead cost assigned to each product line. (6) Compute the operating income for each product line, using the activity-based over- head rates. (c) What do you believe Peggy Kingman should do
