Sheilа is the оwner оf а smаll firm that prоduces and sells skin care products. Currently, she only has two products: Smooist and Exfoliotic. With these two products, Sheila has been struggling. She does not understand the problem. Over the last few years, things were going ok, until inflation and tariffs increased. Suddenly, her raw materials became more expensive, her employees started demanding higher salaries, her margins narrowed, and she began incurring losses. This is her last income statement: Sheila has asked you for advice. She is worried about the Smooist product, because it shows a negative margin. She is afraid of increasing prices because competitors have not raised theirs, and she might lose market share. However, she thinks that, since the margin is negative, she might as well drop the product and save the money. Before she makes any decision, she wants you to write an ABC income statement. To do that, she gives you the following information about her overhead costs: She also provides information on the cost drivers and resource consumption for both products. Both products require careful technical supervision and are produced in batches using a mixing machine at high temperatures. Two years ago, when the economy was healthier and demand was strong, they were working at a pace that was very hard to sustain without a substantial investment in additional resources. That year, the machines ran for 5,500 hours, produced 210 batches, and required 5,000 hours of technical supervision.
