Worley Company buys surgical supplies from a variety of manufacturers and then resells and delivers these supplies to hundreds of hospitals. Worley sets its prices for all hospitals by marking up its cost of goods sold to those hospitals by 6%. For example, if a hospital buys supplies from Worley that had cost Worley $100 to buy from manufacturers, Worley would charge the hospital $106 to purchase these supplies.
For years, Worley believed that the 6% markup covered its selling and administrative expenses and provided a reasonable profit. However, in the face of declinin profits Worley decided to implement an activity-based costing system to help improve its understanding of customer profitability. The company broke its selling and administrative expenses into five activities as shown below:
Activity Cost Pool (Activity Measure) Total Cost Total Activity
Customer deliveries (Number of deliveries) $ 352,000 4,000 deliveries
Manual order processing (Number of manual orders) 539,000 7,000 orders
Electronic order processing (Number of electronic orders) 308,000 14,000 orders
Line item picking (Number of line items picked) 858,000 440,000 line items
Other organization-sustaining costs (None) 670,000
Total selling and administrative expenses $ 2,727,000
Worley gathered the data below for two of the many hospitals that it serves—University and Memorial (both hospitals purchased a total quantity of medical supplies that had cost Worley $36,000 to buy from its manufacturers):
Activity
Activity Measure University Memorial
Number of deliveries 14 21
Number of manual orders 0 43
Number of electronic orders 14 0

Organization Weighs Use of Open Source Software. You began operating a small general electric contracting company two years ago. Originally, it was just you and your cousin, but it has grown to five licensed electricians, plus one office manager who takes calls from customers, schedules the work, and orders parts and supplies. Your company handles a wide range of work, including installing new circuit breaker panels, rewiring existing electrical systems for renovations and additions, and installing residential light fixtures, security lighting systems, swimming pool lighting, and ceiling fans. Business has really taken off, and your current manual systems and procedures can no longer keep pace. The office manager has been exploring several options and has identified three different software packages designed for small contractors. Each one of the packages includes software designed for managing parts and supplies inventory, scheduling jobs, and invoicing customers. One of the packages also provides the capability to perform accounts receivable and accounts payable functions. Two of the software packages are from large, well-known companies, and both have an initial licensing cost of roughly $550 plus $100 per year for software support. The other software package is open-source software, with no initial cost and no support cost. The office manager is unsure how to proceed, but has your agreement to spend up to $1000 on new software.
Which one of the following should be your next step?
a. Define the basic business functions that you need the software to be able perform.
b. Determine the date by which you need the new software installed and operational.
c. Talk to your cousin Vinnie who is an accountant in a large manufacturing firm.
