a. Value-chain. The price needs to cover all product costs, including the costs
of developing, selling, and servicing.
b. Manufacturing. This approach is mandated for external reporting.
c. Value-chain. Product mix decisions should consider all costs, and the mix
that is the most profitable in the long run should be selected.
d. Operating. The designs should be driven by the effect they have on
production, marketing, and servicing costs. Thus, the operating cost
definition is the most relevant.
e. Manufacturing. This approach is mandated for external reporting.
f. Operating. Research and design costs are not relevant for a price decision
involving an existing product. Production, marketing, and servicing costs are
relevant, however.
g. Operating. Any special order should cover its costs, which potentially include
production, marketing, and servicing costs.
h. Value-chain. This is a strategic decision and involves activities and costs
throughout the entire value chain.
i. Operating. At this point, the costs of design and development are sunk costs;
the decision to produce should consider the costs of production, marketing,
and servicing the product.

Theo will be concerned with all costs along the value chain. Clearly, the
after-sale costs will be an important factor in pricing since the potential for
fatal side effects will lead to both lawsuits and the withdrawal of glaxane
from the market. However, Theo must also be concerned with the costs of
research, development, and production since pharmaceutical companies
attempt to link all of these costs to a drug to justify their pricing strategies.

Bose would need to change its control focus from managing costs to
managing activities. This also would entail a shift in emphasis from
departmental performance maximization to system-wide performance
maximization. To bring about this change, Bose will need to provide detailed
information concerning activities. Since activities cause costs, managing
activities is a more logical approach to controlling costs.

PROBLEMS
213
1.
The decision was made assuming that the fixed cost pool would remain
unchanged. What management failed to realize was that additional demands
on activities would be made by the new product line. Their failure to
recognize this was due to the fact that they did not understand that costs can
be driven by factors that are unrelated to the number of units produced. For
example, materials handling costs are apparently driven by the number of
moves, inspection costs by the number of batches, purchasing costs by the
number of orders, and accounting costs by the number of transactions.
Demand for these activities increased and so supply of the activities had to
be increased; each activity evidently did not have enough idle capacity to
handle the increased demands.

The dominant cost is direct labor (for the 10 professionals). Although labor is
the major cost of providing many services, it is not always the case. For
example, the dominant cost for some medical services may be overhead
(e.g., CAT scans). In some services, the dominant cost may be materials (e.g.,
funeral services).

Concluded
Services have three attributes that are not possessed by tangible products:
(1) intangibility, (2) perishability, and (3) inseparability. Intangibility means
that the buyers of services cannot see, feel, hear, or taste a service before it
is bought. Perishability means that services cannot be stored. Therefore,
there will never be any finished goods inventories, making the cost of
services produced equal to the cost of services sold. Inseparability means
that providers and buyers of services must be in direct contact for an
exchange to take place.
The average cost of preparing one tax return last year was $445
($890,000/2,000 returns). However, it will be difficult for YCT to use this figure
in budgeting. Some of its accountants are no doubt more experienced than
others, capable of completing a return in less time and with less research.
The returns themselves differ in complexity. In addition, the seemingly
continual changes in the tax law may affect certain of their clients more than
others, making those clients returns more difficult to prepare.
