Question

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 $8.70 per guest check-in, $18.00 per room cleaning, and $3.00 per served meal (not including food). Julie Campbell visited the hotel for a 5-night stay. Julie had 6 meals in the hotel during the visit. Determine the total activity-based cost for Campbell's visit during the month. Round your answer to the nearest cent.

Answer 1

Answer:

Allocated costs= $116.7

Explanation:

Giving the following formula:

The activity rates associated with each activity pool are $8.70 per guest check-in, $18.00 per room cleaning, and $3.00 per served meal (not including food).

Julie Campbell visited the hotel for a 5-night stay. Julie had 6 meals in the hotel during the visit.

To allocated costs, we need to use the following formula:

Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base

Allocated costs= 8.7 + 18*5 + 3*6

Allocated costs= $116.7
