Question

Marshall Company is a large manufacturer of office furniture. The company has recently adopted lean accounting and has identified two value streams—office chairs and office tables. Total sales in the most recent period for the two streams are $310 and $375 million, respectively.

In the most recent accounting period, Marshall had the following operating costs, which were traced to the two value streams as follows (in thousands):

	Chairs		Tables
Operating costs:
Materials	$	17,800	$	15,800
Labor		136,000		103,000
Equipment-related costs		45,800		65,400
Occupancy costs		12,000		13,900

In addition to the traceable operating costs, the company had manufacturing costs of $181.750 million, and selling and administrative costs of $50 million that could not be traced to either value stream. Due to the implementation of lean methods, the firm has been able to reduce inventory in both value streams significantly. Marshall has calculated the fixed cost of prior period inventory that is included in the current income statement to be $7.5 million for the office chair stream and $21.5 million for the office table stream.
