Cade Industries operates a fleet of delivery vehicles that make scheduled pickups and deliveries for its customers in the Boulder area. The company is implementing an activity based costing system that has four activity cost pools: Travel, Pickup and Delivery, Customer Service and Other. The activity measures are as follows for each of the cost pools: Travel – Miles; Pickups and Deliveries - # of Pickups and Deliveries; Customer Service - # of Customers. The Other cost pool has no activity measure because it is an organization-sustaining activity. The following costs will be assigned using the activity based costing system:
Driver and Guard Wages |
$1,680,000 |
Vehicle Operating Expense |
540,000 |
Vehicle Depreciation |
300,000 |
Customer Reps Salaries and Expenses |
360,000 |
Office Expenses |
80,000 |
Administrative Expenses |
680,000 |
Total |
$3,640,000 |
The distribution of resource consumption across the activity cost pools is as follows:
