Performance Evaluation in Service Industries
Bay Area Bank estimates that its overhead costs for policy administration should be $30 for each new account obtained and $0.45 per year for each $1,000 of deposits. The company set a budget of selling 20,000 new accounts during the coming period. In addition, it estimated that the total deposits for the period would average $43,200,000.
During the period, actual costs related to new accounts amounted to $572,250. The bank sold a total of 19,200 new accounts.
The cost of maintaining existing accounts was $18,000. Had these costs been incurred at the same prices as were in effect when the budget was prepared, the costs would have been $17,700; however, some costs changed. Also, deposits averaged $45,000,000 during the period.

The fixed costs of operating the Bunatta Corp. are $4,800,000 annually. Variable costs are incurred at the rate of $25 per maintenance-hour. On average, the company incurs 38,000 maintenance-hours per year. Budgeted and actual hours per user for 2019 are as follows:
Assume that budgeted maintenance-hours are used to calculate the allocation rates.
Using a single-rate allocation and budgeted usage, how much will each department be allocated?
Using a dual-rate allocation with fixed costs allocated according to budgeted hours and variable costs allocated to actual hours, how much overhead will each department be allocated?

The manager of the Dallas Division of Walking Tours of America is preparing the budget for 2021. At this point, she has determined that average total assets for 2021 will equal $4,000,000. She is evaluated on the amount of residual income generated by her division. Assume variable costs in Dallas Division are expected to equal 60% of total sales and fixed costs are expected to equal $400,000 in 2021.
1. Compute the sales level that would generate a 20% return on investment.
2. Assuming the rate of return is 15%, determine the level of sales that would generate $200,000 of residual income.
