Lin is considering an investment of NOK 45 million in a manufacturing plant that will produce all three products. The plant has a life of 15 years after which it would have no 2

Question 2 ( ) A preliminary analysis of a grocery company shows that the packaged food department is the most profitable. Consequently, the company is considering to increase its space the most.

He has asked you to lead this analysis. Specifically, he asks you to: 3

4 i. Compute the operating income and the operating income as a percent of sales for each department using the existing system. Use this information to assess the relative profitability per NOK of sales of each of the three departments. ii. Develop product costs using an activity-based accounting system.

Delivery Physical delivery and receipt of merchandise c. Shelf-stocking Stocking of merchandise on store shelves, including ongoing restocking d. Customer support Assistance to customers, including check out and bagging e. Produce monitoring Constantly checking on the stacking and freshness of produce.
