Question

Activity-Based Costing for a Service Business Sterling Hotel uses activity-based costing to determine the cost of servicing customers. There are three activity pools: guest check-in, room cleaning, and meal service. The activity rates associated with each activity pool are $8.40 per guest check-in, $21.00 per room cleaning, and $4.00 per served meal (not including food). Julie Stone visited the hotel for a 6-night stay. Julie had 3 meals in the hotel during the visit. Determine the total monthly activity-based cost for Washington during the month.

Answer 1

Answer:

Total allocated cost= $146.4

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

To allocate costs based on the activity, we need to use the following formula:

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
