Question

The Phoenix Resort has recently converted to an Activity Based Cost System. The owner was willing to make the costly conversion in order to obtain more accurate income data for each profit center and make better business decisions.

The Profit Centers are Hotel Operations, Food Service, Gift Shop, Tours, and Gas/Convenience Store.  

The new cost system has four direct cost pools and six indirect cost pools. The indirect costs have been traced to the following activities: General Administration, Record Keeping, Purchases, Facilities, Marketing, and Maintenance. The Resort uses an Actual Costing System rather than a Normal Costing System. The following indirect cost activity data was collected for the first quarter.

*Because Hotel Operations is by far the largest, it will get half the cost. The remainder is allocated as follows: Food Service 2/5, Gas/Convenience Store 2/5, Gift Shop 1/10, and Tours 1/10.
