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 6%. For example, if a hospital buys supplies from Worley that cost Worley $100 to buy from manufacturers, Worley would charge the hospital $106 to purchase these supplies.

For years, Worley believed that the 6% 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:

Activity Cost Pool (Activity Measure)	Total Cost	Total Activity
Customer deliveries (Number of deliveries)	$ 243,000	3,000	deliveries
Manual order processing (Number of manual orders)	312,000	4,000	orders
Electronic order processing (Number of electronic orders)	255,000	15,000	orders
Line item picking (Number of line items picked)	598,000	460,000	line items
Other organization-sustaining costs (None)	630,000
Total selling and administrative expenses	$ 2,038,000
