Hello,

Looking to compare!

Thanks,

The East Wind Company has a power plant designed and built to serve its three manufacturing plants. Data for 2010 are as follows: Usage in Kilowatt-Hours
Factory location	Budget	Actual
Pictou	100,000	80,000
Amherst	60,000	120,000
Yarmouth	40,000	40,000

Budgeted fixed costs for the year were $1,000,000. Actual fixed costs for th year were $1,100,000.

Variable costs were budgeted as $10 per kilowatt-hour. The actual total variable costs were
$2,200,000.

1. Calculate the amount of power costs that would be allocated to each o the three locations using
a single rate based on budgeted costs.
2. Calculate the amount of power costs that would be allocated to each o the three locations using
a dual rate method based on budgeted costs for fixed and actual costs for variable.

In addition, all three plants require maintenance. The amount of fuel consumed (in Mg), maintenance required (in person-hours), carbon dioxide (CO2) emitted (in Mg), and power generated (in MWh) per day of operation is as follows: Maintenance Fuel 1 Fuel 2 CO2 Power Plant Required Required Required Emitted...
