Question

Nate and Joe have been friends since grade school and decided to go on a skiing trip to Stowe, Vermont this January.

The estimated the following for the trip:

Expense Estimated Costs Allocation Base Activity Allocation (Nate) Activity Allocation (Joe)
Food $610.00 Number of meals eaten 11 13
Skiing $200.00 Number of lift tickets 5 2
Lodging $780.00 Number of nights 5 5
Total $1,590.00      

 

(Round your answers to two decimal places when needed and use rounded answers for all future calculations).

Total estimated cost / Total Individuals = Cost per person
  /   =  



Joe does not like the idea because he plans to stay in the room rather than ski. Joe suggests that each type of cost be allocated to each person based on the above-listed allocation bases.

Using the activity allocation for each person, calculate the amount that each person would pay based on his own consumption of the activity.

Total Number Nate + Joe = Total
Meals Eaten   +   =  
Lift Tickets   +   =  
Nights   +   =  



Expense Total estimated overhead Cost / Total estimated quantity of the overhead allocation base = Predetermined Overhead Allocation Rate Units
Food   /   =   per meal
Skiing   /   =   per ticket
Lodging   /   =   per night



Nate Predetermined Overhead Allocation Rate X Actual Quantity of the Allocation Base Used = Allocated Cost
Food   X   =  
Skiing   X   =  
Lodging   X   =  
        Total  



Joe Predetermined Overhead Allocation Rate X Actual Quantity of the Allocation Base Used = Allocated Cost
Food   X   =  
Skiing   X   =  
Lodging   X   =  
        Total
