Bountiful Harvest Distribution Delivers Supplies to Small Grocers Throughout the Region

Question 116

Essay

Bountiful Harvest Distribution delivers supplies to small grocers throughout the region. Bountiful currently adds 5% to the order cost to cover the delivery cost. The delivery fee is meant to just cover the cost of delivery. A consultant has analyzed the delivery service using activity-based costing methods and identified four activities. Data on these activities are:
 Activity  Cost Driver  Cost  Driver Volume Process order  number of orders $50,000 4,000 orders Load truck  number of items 100,000 80,000 items  Deliver goods  number of orders 60,000 4,000 orders  Process invoice  number of invoice 48,000 6,000 invoices Total overhead $258,000\begin{array}{ll}\text { Activity } & \text { Cost Driver } & \text { Cost }& \text { Driver Volume}\\\text { Process order } & \text { number of orders } &\$50,000& \text { 4,000 orders}\\\text { Load truck } & \text { number of items }&100,000& \text { 80,000 items } \\\text { Deliver goods } & \text { number of orders }&60,000& \text { 4,000 orders } \\\text { Process invoice } & \text { number of invoice } &48,000& \text { 6,000 invoices}\\\text { Total overhead } &&\$258,000\end{array}
