Services, Cost Systems, and the Income Statement
Celestial Funeral Home offers a full range of services. Based on past experience, Celestial uses the following formula to describe its total overhead costs: Y = $200,000 + $50X, where Y = total overhead costs and X = number of funerals. Overhead costs are assigned by dividing total overhead costs by the number of funerals. For a given funeral, the cost of direct materials ranges from $1,500 to $10,000, depending on the family's selection of a coffin. The average cost is $4,000. Direct labor averages $1,000 per funeral. During 2008, Celestial con- ducted 1,000 funerals. The average price charged for each funeral is $7,000. Celestial incurs annual selling expenses of $50,000 and administrative expenses of $150,000.
