Question:
Stand-alone revenue allocation, Funland is an amusement park complex in southern Florida. Funland is divided into three autonomous divisions: a water park, a superhero theme park with rides, and an animal park. In addition to selling a daily entrance ticket for each park, Funland has decided to sell a three day ticket that would allow entrance into each of the parks for one day. The ticket selling price and the costs associated with each entrant into a park are:
1. Allocate the revenue from the three-day ticket to each park using the stand-alone method based on ticket price.
2. Allocate the revenue from the three-day ticket to each park using the stand-alone method based on cost per entrant.
3. Allocate the revenue from the three-day ticket to each park using the stand-alone method based on physical units (that is, number of tickets received for each park).
4. Which basis of allocation makes the most sense in this situation? Explain youranswer.
