MS6010 M4A1 Discussion – ABC or Activity Based Costing
Assignment 1: Discussion—ABC or Activity-Based Costing
In your readings this module, you were introduced to Activity-Based Costing or ABC. It is a method used to determine a reliable predetermined benchmark for the
allocation of overhead costs to the products produced based on their activity levels. In this discussion, we will work a case study on ABC together. For your initial
response, attempt to answer the questions yourself and post all the required items into the Discussion Area. You may want to post some elements during different days
so the class can work this problem together. Then in your response postings, help each other with misunderstandings or miscalculations.
Tasks:
Examine the case below and then…
Calculate the amount of overhead allocated to small and large advertising campaigns under existing methods.
Apply activity-based costing to calculate the cost per cost driver for each of the cost pools.
Use the costs per cost driver to calculate the activity-based overhead applicable to small and large campaigns.
Calculate the percentage to be added to direct advertising costs to recover overhead costs under activity-based costing.
Merit-o-cracy PLC is a specialist advertising agency. It has been long-established but is experiencing difficulties in winning new business. The Chief Executive
believes that its pricing methods are leading to the loss of large customer advertising campaigns while it is consistently winning smaller business.
Merit-o-cracy costs work for pricing purposes on the basis of direct advertising costs (i.e. space or time purchased from newspapers, radio and TV) plus 100%. The 100%
is intended to cover all the overheads of the business, which run at $2 million per year. It does not include any profit margin. This budget cost comprises:
Creative staff $500,000
Production staff $750,000
Administrative & support staff $300,000
Rental and associated costs $450,000
Merit-o-cracy classifies its advertising campaigns as either small or large. Of the 350 campaigns the agency wins, about 325 are classified as small. A typical small
advertising campaign incurs direct advertising costs of $4,000 each (and therefore is allocated $4,000 of overheads under current methods). The other 25 advertising
campaigns are large and incur direct advertising costs of $28,000 each.
Merit-o-cracy’s accountant has heard of activity-based costing. After speaking to the management team, she has gathered information on the most common causes of costs.
She believes that creative staff costs are linked to the number of advertising campaigns the agency competes for. Production staff costs are related to the number of
advertising campaigns the agency wins. Administrative and support staff costs are related to the number of customers the agency has. Rental and associated costs are
people-based and as a similar number of staff is employed in each of the three departments, the costs should be equally shared.
The accountant has also collected data on the activity levels in each of the three departments over the budget period. These are:
Creative
800 advertising campaigns the agency bids for
400 of these are bids for large campaigns and 400 for small campaigns
Production
350 advertising campaigns the agency wins
325 of these are small campaigns and 25 large campaigns
Admin & support
400 customers the agency services
300 of these are customers with small campaigns and 100 have large campaigns

Capstone Journal Entry 8 (Week 9)
QOD:
Company policy mandates that users (including admins) cannot install software on Company PCs. A GPO enforces that for users but not administrators. One weekend you
came across a cool utility that you would like to test in your environment. What do you do???
Goals were set of the tasks to be completed by the end of Wednesday’s class and were marked on the board to be checked off to ensure completion. There was only one
major goal for me to accomplish. My goal was to continue with configuring Hyper-V on both of the Site 2 PCs. I decided to start by created a Windows Server 2012 R2
bootable USB created and installed it on the Site 2 PCs. I removed the previous Hyper-V install. Daniel and I both decided that it would be much easier to install
Hyper-V as a Server Role. I am currently in the process of the adding the File and Print Server to Site 2 Hyper-V PC 1. I asked Mark about which static IP Address I
should use for Hyper-V and add it to our Site 2 cut sheet. He mentioned to me that the IP Address should be as follows.
Hyper-V S2 PC 1: 10.2.4.201 and Hyper-V S2 PC 2: 10.2.4.202. The Hyper-V Site 2 PCs naming scheme is as follows. One is named CRHV01 and other is named CRHV02.
Hyper-V does not have network connectivity to the outside world. I am not sure if we need to have network connectivity to the outside world. I mentioned this to
Lester, my virtualization teacher and he advised me that he would like to see what I mean that Hyper-V has no network connectivity to the outside world, so he can help
out with troubleshooting this further and give some advice.
As a team we received our positive feedbacks from Stephanie our Project Manager about our 2nd Peer Evaluations. According to Stephanie, this is by far the best
Capstone Group that she has worked with. She likes that there is no negativity from any of the team members at all. We discussed in our 5-minute team meeting about the
How To Troubleshoot Assignment that we need to complete individually. We all decided to get a head start on this assignment as it is coming due in Week 10. This week
we also got started on our setting up implementing our teams Extra Services of doing a Radius Server. This is the extra service that all of us team members agreed on
implementing.
Daniel assured us that he will advise us once the Week 9 drafts are submitted and send a reminder of the tasks due this week.

Memo and Press Release
I need this assignment completed by Sunday, March 12, 2017 at 11:00pm US Central Standard Time:
The company with which you are currently employed is experiencing a financial crisis. The chief financial officer (CFO) has suddenly resigned and no one is discussing
the reasons. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is investigating your company’s ACCOUNTING PRACTICES and from the documents they have requested, the
issue seems to concern revenue recognition. Rumors are beginning to circulate that suggest inappropriate behavior on the part of your company. The organization is a
publicly traded company and, as such, the company is required to issue a public notice concerning the sudden vacancy of the CFO. As a certified public accountant on
the team drafting the notice, you are involved in communicating the current situation to the general public.
Write a press release of no more than 700 words. You may research to find examples of public notices.
Use the examples to determine how you will format your press release.
Write an accompanying internal memo of no more than 700 words to your manager.
Include the following in your memo:
Outline what your company is legally required to do.
Explain the value of the public communication in this situation.
Examine the balance between calming external stakeholders and the ethical considerations of providing all the information that is required by the SEC.
Explain how the perception of the press release will affect public opinion.
