Case Study Questions
1. Using the case data, prepare a Comparative Income Statement to show the net income of the Taejon branch as of 2007 and 2008 if the headquarters’ overhead costs were allocated by using the current method. Calculate the amount of revenue, direct and indirect costs, the change amount (in dollars) and the change rate (in percent) of the Taejon branch for these two years.
2. Analyze the Comparative Income Statement (# 1 above) and explain why the Taejon branch’s net income increased or decreased between these two years. What is the most significant factor that caused this result?
3. The current overhead cost driver, branch revenue, is criticized because it lacks any logical relationship to the overhead costs allocated by headquarters. Choose more appropriate cost drivers for the 17 overhead costs listed in case Exhibit 3. You may refer to descriptions of the 17 overhead costs incurred by the five teams at the headquarters.
4. Using your cost drivers (from # 3 above), prepare a Comparative Income Statement of the Taejon branch as of 2007 and 2008. Compare your answer to the result from # 1 above). Which method provides the best advantage to evaluate Kim’s performance? Why?
