Value- and Non-Value-Added Cost Reporting

Cicleta Manufacturing has four activities: receiving materials, assembly, expediting products, and storing goods. Receiving and assembly are necessary activities; expediting and storing goods are unnecessary. The following data pertain to the four activities for the year ending 2014 (actual price per unit of the activity driver is assumed to be equal to the standard price):

Activity	Activity Driver	SQ	AQ	SP
Receiving	Receiving orders	10,400	22,500	$18
Assembly	Labor hours	93,000	112,500	13
Expediting	Orders expedited	0	7,500	43
Storing	Number of units	0	15,000	6

Required:

1. Prepare a cost report for the year ending 2014 that shows value-added costs, non-value-added costs, and total costs for each activity. If an amount is zero, enter "0".
