The founder of a cloud computing business needs to determine the costs of providing the company's services to its clients. Students must perform an activity-based costing exercise to determine the cost of the company's two core product offerings and recommend which product should become the company's focus. Students must also consider the treatment of upfront capital costs when determining profitability. To make a decision, students must understand the company, the industry in which it operates and the costing issues involved.

Learning Objectives

The case is intended to be taught in an intermediate or advanced managerial accounting course. It is suitable toward the end of a module on cost accounting as an illustration of the use and benefits of activity-based costing from a strategic and managerial focus.
