A-1 complete the table under the current cost system. A-2 determine which products, if any, should be dropped. C-1 Assume that CBI drops the product(s) identified in requirement (a) above. Calculate the gross profit margin percentage for the remaining products. Assume that CBI can sell all products that it manufactures and that it will use the excess capacity from dropping a product to produce more of the most profitable product.

Extracted text: In reviewing cost reports with the marketing manager, Steve Hoffman, who is the cost accountant, notices that Creamy Crunch appears exceptionally profitable and that Almond Dream appears to be produced at a loss. This surprises both him and the manager, and after much discussion, they are convinced that the cost accounting system is at fault and that Almond Dream is performing very well at the current market price. Steve decides to hire Jean Sharpe, a management consultant, to study the firm's cost system over the next month and present her findings and recommendations to senior management. Her objective is to identify and demonstrate how the cost accounting system might be distorting the firm's product costs. Jean begins her study by gathering information and documenting the existing cost accounting system. It is rather simplistic, using a single overhead allocation base-direct labor-hours-to calculate and apply overhead rates to all products. The rate is calculated by summing varlable and fixed overhead costs and then dividing the result by the number of direct labor-hours. The product cost is determined by multiplying the number of direct labor-hours required to manufactute the product by the overhead rate and adding this amount to the direct labor and direct material costs. CBI engages in two distinct production processes for each product. Process 1 is labor Intensive, using a high proportion of direct materials and labor. Process 2 uses special packing equipment that wraps each individual candy bar and then packs it into a box of 24 bars. The boxes are then packaged into cases, each of which has six boxes. Special packing equipment is used on all three products and has a monthly capacity of 3,000 cases, each containing 144 candy bars ( 6 boxes 24 bars). To illustrate the source of the distortions to senior management, Jean collects the cost date for the three products, Almond Dream, Krispy Krackle, and Creamy Crunch.

By comparing the selling prices to the firm's costs and then calculating the gross margin percentages, Jean could determine which products, under the current cost system, should be dropped. The current selling prces of Almond Dream, Krispy Krackle, and Creamy Crunch are $98.00, $61.00, and $30.00 per case, respectively. Overhead will remain $76,000 per month under all alternatives.
