Q.19-4SE_2

Question

Bubba and Danny are college friends planning a skiing trip to Killington before the new year. They estimated the following for the trip:

 

                  Estimated                                                              Activity Allocation

                      Costs                    Allocation Base                  Bubba          Danny

Food              \( 400              Pounds of food eaten                  24                 26

Skiing               300              Number of lift tickets                     2                   0

Lodging            280              Number of nights                           2                   2

                       \) 980

 

Requirements

2. Danny does not like the idea of sharing the costs equally because he plans to stay in the room rather than ski. Danny 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.

Answer

Overhead cost to Bubba: $632

Overhead cost to Danny: $348
