Product Line
The same equipment is used to mill and package all three products. In the above income statement equipment depreciation has been allocated on
the basis of sales dollars. An analysis of equipment usage indicates that it is used 30% of the time to make wheat cereal 60% of the time to
make pancake mix and 10% of the time to make flour.
All three products are stored in the same warehouse. In the above income statement the warehouse rent has been allocated on the basis of sales
dollars. The warehouse contains 40800 square feet of space of which 8000 square feet are used for wheat cereal 14000 square feet are used
for pancake mix and 18800 square feet are used for flour. The warehouse space costs the company $0.50 per square foot per month to rent.
The general administration costs relate to the administration of the company as a whole. In the above income statement these costs have been
divided equally among the three product lines.
All other costs are traceable to the product lines.
