Q-5 Wigan Associates is a recently formed law partnership. Ellery Hanley, the managing partner of Wigan Associates, has just finished a tense phone call with Martin Offiah, president of Widnes Coal. Offiah strongly complained about the price Wigan charged for some legal work done for Widnes Coal.

Hanley had just come from a meeting with St. Helen’s Glass (Glass), which was very pleased with both the quality of the work and the price charged on its most recent job.

Wigan Associates operates at capacity and uses a cost-based approach to pricing (billing) each job. Currently it uses a simple costing system with a single direct-cost category (professional labor-hours) and a single indirect-cost pool (general support). Indirect costs are allocated to cases on the basis of professional labor-hours per case. The job files show the following:

--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---

Professional labor costs at Wigan Associates are 370 an hour. Indirect costs are allocated to cases at T105 an hour. Total indirect costs in the most recent period were 321,000.

Hanley asks his assistant to collect details on those costs included in the 321,000 indirect-cost pool that can be traced to each individual job. After analysis, Wigan is able to reclassify 14,000 of the 321,000 as direct costs:

Hanley decides to calculate the costs of each job as if Wigan had used six direct cost-pools and a single indirect-cost pool. The single indirect-cost pool would have X7,000 of costs and would be allocated to each case using the professional labor-hours base.

Required

1. Compute the costs of the Widnes Coal and St. Helen’s Glass jobs using Wigan’s simple costing system.

--- Content provided by​ FirstRanker.com ---

2. What is the revised indirect-cost allocation rate per professional labor-hour for Wigan (Associates Required when total indirect costs are 37,000?
3. Compute the costs of the Widnes and St. Helen’s jobs if Wigan Associates had used its refined costing system with multiple direct-cost categories and one indirect-cost pool.
4. Compare the costs of Widnes and St. Helen’s jobs in requirement 1 with those in requirement 3 of Problem. Comment on the results.
