Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Julie Stone visited the hotel for a 6-night stay.
Julie had 3 meals in the hotel during the visit.
guest check-in= $8.40 per guest check-in
room cleaning= $21.00 per room cleaning
meal service= $4.00 per served meal
<u>To allocate costs based on the activity, we need to use the following formula:</u>
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
guest check-in= 8.40*1= 8.4
room cleaning= 21.00*6= 126
meal service= 4.00*3= 12
Total allocated cost= $146.4
Answer:
a. $118,000
Explanation:
When preparing a cash flow statement, using indirect method we add decrease in current assets and we deduct increase in current assets.
Here it is provided that income reported = $110,000
Opening balance of accounts receivables = $40,000
Closing balance of accounts Receivables = $32,000
Change in Accounts receivables = Closing - Opening = $32,000 - $40,000 = - $8,000
Therefore there is decrease in accounts receivables which is a current asset.
Thus Cash Flow from operating activities
Net Income = $110,000
Add: Decrease in current assets = $8,000
Net cash flow from operating activity = $118,000
Correct option is
a. $118,000
