Case Study 3: Hogwart’s Houses (18 marks)
1. HH is happy with the profitability of its Construction
division but is concerned that the other two divisions are
struggling. PH is considering discontinuing one or both of these
divisions. Advise HH as to whether it should discontinue one
of, both, or neither of its divisions (4 marks)
2. Now consider for 2020 that there are other competitors in the
pre-engineered home business. Prefabrication can sell,
Transportation can buy and sell, and Construction can buy from
external parties and all divisions are operating at capacity.
Market prices for 1 prefabricated housing unit, pre and post
shipping, are $60,000 and $90,000, respectively. Further assume
that at these prices, the optimal capacity remains at 200 units
per division. Calculate operating income for each division using
market prices as the transfer prices – does your answer to part a
change at all given these results? (8 marks)
3. Still considering that the market prices from part b exist,
what would happen if HH allowed the divisions to negotiate
their own transfer prices? Qualitatively discuss whether or not
there would be changes to the transfer price or quantity
exchanged. (6 marks)
Case 4: Bethilda’s Brooms (18 marks)
1. Calculate the expected customer-level operating income for
the six customers. Use the number of written orders at $30 each
to calculate expected order costs. (6 marks)

8. 2. Recalculate the customer-level operating income using the
number of written orders but at their actual $12 cost per order
instead of $30 (except for Brooms ‘R Us, whose actual cost is
$30 per order). What will Bethilda’s assessment of customer-
level (and salespeople) performance be for this period? (ie. Did
they perform better or worse than expected?)
(6 marks)
3. Recalculate the customer-level operating income if
salespeople had not broken up actual orders into multiple
smaller orders. Don’t forget to also adjust sales commissions. (3
marks)
4. How is the behaviour of the salespeople affecting the profit
of Belinda’s Brooms? Is their behaviour ethical? What can
Bethilda do to change their behaviour? (3 marks)
*hint* this question requires you to take the same information
making only minor adjustments. Read the full question first,
then plan for your response
Case Study 1: Ollivander’s
Ollivander manufactures premium Magic Wands. The following
are some manufacturing overhead data for Magic Wands for the
year ended March 31, 2020.

Manufacturing Overhead
Actual Results

Allocated Amount
Variable $60,560 $76,800 $76,800 Fixed

Budgeted number of wands (output): 892 Planned allocation
rate: 3 machine-hours per wand Actual number of machine-
hours used: 1,445 hours
Static-budget variable manufacturing overhead costs: $71,120
Ollivander looks at this information and needs some help with
interpretation. When comparing actual results to the flexible
budget it looks like he performed well on variable overhead but
poorly on fixed overhead; yet, comparing to the allocated
amount tells a different story. Ollivander needs your help
interpreting these variances! Can you help Ollivander?
Case Study 2: Gringott’s
The Gringott’s Mine extracts gold in central London. Each

10. tonne mined is 40% Grade F (fine) gold, 40% Grade VG (very
good) gold, and 20% gold alloy (not so great, but still shiny and
good for making things a gold colour). Output usually sells
within two months. In January, Gringott’s mined 1,000 tonnes
of gold. It spent £10,000 on the mining process. Grade F gold
sells for £1000 per tonne. Grade VG gold sells for £60 per
tonne. Gringott’s gets one-quarter of a vat of gold alloy from
each tonne of gold processed. The gold alloy sells for £60 per
vat.
Bogrod, the head goblin at Gringott’s bank has been approached
by one of his workers, Gornok, with a proposal to further
process Grade VG gold into Galleons on-site. Gornok insists
this is a good idea since idle goblin-hours (labour-hours) are
available. The process would cost £6000 with no loss in volume.
One tonne of Grade VG gold makes 108,000 Galleons.
Currently, Gringott’s sells gold to the Muggle Mint for
processing into Galleons (currency; think about a mine selling
money to a bank; they are outsourcing processing of gold into
coins). The Muggle Mint sells Galleons back to Gringott’s for a
price of £5.50 per100 Galleons (ie. Gringott’s is buying back
the finished product from the Mint. With Gornok’s suggestion
they would be able to by-pass this and complete the entire
process on their own).
Case Study 3: Hogwart’s Houses
Hogwarts’ Houses (HH) is a residential home builder that does
things a little differently than the competition. HH builds homes
to completion in a factory rather than outdoors and on site. HH
has three divisions, prefabrication, transportation, and
construction.
The Prefabrication division builds whole sections of floors,
walls and roof trusses that are shipped to the Construction
division, who uses these sections to build the shell of the house

11. before adding all other interior and exterior components (e.g.
insulation, wiring, outer walls, doors, etc.). The Prefabrication
division “sells” its sections to the Transportation division who
ships and “sells” the sections to Construction. Construction then
sells finished products to the public.
At present, HH is the only home builder that makes pre-
engineered homes and as such has been using its own internal
transfer prices, which were set by head office. Please see
Appendix I for the past two year’s summary segmented income

Case 4: Bethilda’s Brooms
Bethilda’s Brooms manufactures brooms which it sells to
merchandising firms such as Quality Quidditch Supplies (QQS),
Brooms ‘R Us (BRU), Broom-Mart (BM), Broom City (BC),
Best Brooms (BB), and Clean Sweep (CS).
The list price of a broom is $48, and the full manufacturing
costs are $28.
Salespeople receive a commission on sales; the commission of
$30 per order is based on number of orders taken and paid in
addition to regular salary. Bethilda’s Brooms makes products
based on anticipated demand; however, Bethilda carries an

17. inventory of brooms, so rush orders do not result in any extra
manufacturing costs over and above the $28 per broom.
Bethilda’s Brooms ships finished product to the customer at no
additional charge to the customer for either regular or expedited
delivery. Bethilda incurs significantly higher costs for
expedited deliveries than for regular deliveries. Expected and
actual customer-level cost driver rates are provided.
Activity Cost Driver Rate
Order taking (excluding sales commission) $30 per order
Product handling $1.90 per unit
Delivery $2 per km driven
Expedited (rush) delivery $320 per shipment

*Because BRU places 17 separate orders, its order costs are $30
per order. All other orders are multiple smaller orders and so
have actual order costs of $12 each.
Because salespeople are paid $30 per order, they break up large
orders into multiple smaller orders. This practice reduces the
actual order-taking cost by $18 per smaller order (from $30 per
order to $12 per order) because the smaller orders are all
written at the same time. This lower cost rate is not included in
budgeted rates because salespeople create smaller orders
without telling management or the accounting department. Also,
salespeople offer customers discounts to entice them to place
more orders; Brooms ‘R Us and Broom-Mart each receive a 10%
discount off the list price of $48.
