- Law Wizard Inc. (LWI) is a manufacturer of a range of walk-behind gasoline lawnmowers, which it markets to garden centers and home improvement centers. LWI employs a batch production process whose inventory management, production planning, and accounting procedures consist of a combination of manual activities supported by stand-alone (non-networked) PC technology. The company is experiencing production delays and cost overruns. Its CEO has hired your firm to review its procedures and make recommendations for improving its operations. The batch production process is initiated by receipt of individual customer orders, which are grouped together in batches for manufacturing. The production planning and control clerk enters the orders into the digital production schedule from his department PC and prints two hard-copy work orders. He sends one of these to cost accounting and the other to the production department.

AA supplies the major satellite TV companies that install standard satellite dishes for their customers. The company also manufactures and installs a small number of specialized satellite dishes to individuals or businesses with specific needs resulting from poor reception in their locations. The chief executive officer (CEO) wants to initiate a program of cost reduction at AA. His plan is to use activity-based management (ABM) to allocate costs more accurately and to identify non-value-adding activities. The first department to be analyzed is the customer care department, as it has been believed for some time that the current method of cost allocation is giving unrealistic results for the two product types. At present, the finance director (FD) absorbs the cost of customer care into the product cost on a per-unit basis using the data in table 1.
