Supermart Food Stores (SFS) has experienced net operating losses in its frozen food products line in the last few periods. Management believes that the store can improve its profitability if SFS discontinues frozen foods. The operating results from the most recent period are: Frozen Foods Sales Cost of goods sold $288,000 271, 000 Fresh Produce $524, 000 404, 000 Baked Goods $493, 000 399,000 SFS estimates that store support expenses, in total, are approximately 13% of revenues. The controller says that not every sales dollar requires or uses the same amount of store support activities. A preliminary analysis reveals store support activities for these three product lines are: Baked Goods Activity (cost driver) Order processing (number of purchase orders) Receiving (number of deliveries) Shelf-stocking number of hours per delivery) Customer support (total units sold) Frozen Foods 11 8 5 22, 000 73 69 0.1 39,000 Fresh Produce 92 319 6 78,000 The controller estimates activity-cost rates for each activity as follows: Order processing Receiving Shelf-stocking Customer support $ 96 per purchase order 122 per delivery 26.00 per hour 0.27 per item Required: 1.
