5ub&ect: @epartmental overhead rates
Until no" the company has used a single, plant"ide overhead rate in computing product
costs /his approach resulted in a product cost of E1,189 for the basic system and a cost of
E1,2*9 for the advanced system Under the company:s pricing policy of adding a 19 percent
mar!up, this yielded prices of E1,398 for the basic system and E1,69* for the advanced
system
0hen departmental overhead rates are computed, it is apparent that the t"o
production departments have very different cost structures @epartment - is a relatively
expensive department to operate, "hile @epartment A is less costly It is important to
recogni#e the different rates of cost incurrence in the t"o departments, because our t"o
products re,uire different amounts of time in the t"o departments /he basic system spends
most of its time in @epartment A, the inexpensive department /he advanced system spends
most of its time in @epartment -, the more expensive department /hus, using departmental
overhead rates sho"s that the basic system costs less than "e had previously reali#edB the
advanced system costs more /he revised product costs are E1,139 and E1,399 for the basic
and advanced systems, respectively 0ith a 19 percent mar!up, these revised product costs
yield prices of E1,'*3 for the basic system and E1,639 for the advanced system 0e have been
overpricing the basic system and underpricing the advanced system
I recommend that the company s"itch to a product costing system that incorporates
departmental overhead rates

accounting method did not result in a fair portrayal of the companyQs financial and
operational situation -s a result, the merger "as approved on the basis of alleged
misleading information, and it is the investors "ho "ill bear the brunt of this action

release Do accounting system should be used as a tool to cover up operational problems
and mislead shareholders ;ne "onders also "hat the auditors "ere doing to assess the
accuracy of the accounting information
