Green Thumb Gardening is a small gardening service that uses activity-based costing to estimate costs for pricing and other purposes. The proprietor of the company believes that costs are driven primarily by the size of customer lawns, the size of customer garden beds, the distance to travel to customers, and the number of customers. In addition, the costs of maintaining garden beds depends on whether the beds are low maintenance beds (mainly ordinary trees and shrubs) or high maintenance beds (mainly flowers and exotic plants). Accordingly, the company uses the five activity cost pools listed below: Activity Cost Pool Caring for lawn Caring for garden beds-low maintenance Caring for garden beds-high maintenance Travel to jobs Customer billing and service Activity Measure Square feet of lawn Square feet of low maintenance beds Square feet of high maintenance beds Miles Number of customers The company already has completed its first stage allocations of costs and has summarized its annual costs and activity as follows: Activity Cost Pool Caring for lawn Caring for garden beds-low maintenance Caring for garden beds-high maintenance Travel to jobs Customer billing and service Estimated Overhead Cost $ 85,800 $ 38,400 $ 48,420 $ 5,200 $ 10,700 Expected Activity 170,000 square feet of lawn 24,000 square feet of low maintenance beds 18,000 square feet of high maintenance beds 15,000 miles 22 customers Required: Compute the activity rate for each of the activity cost pools.

The owner of the restaurant has been trying to better understand costs at the restaurant and has hired a student intern to conduct an activity-based costing study. The intern, in consultation with the owner, identified three major activities and then completed the first-stage allocations of costs to the activity cost pools. The results appear below. Activity Cost Pool Serving a party of diners Serving a diner Serving drinks Activity Measure Number of parties served Number of diners served Number of drinks ordered Total Cost Total Activity $ 17,850 5,100 parties $ 100,040 12,200 diners $ 37,740 10,200 drinks The above costs include all of the costs of the restaurant except for organization-sustaining costs such as rent, property taxes, and top- management salaries. Some costs, such as the cost of cleaning the linens that cover the restaurant's tables, vary with the number of parties served. Other costs, such as washing plates and glasses, depend on the number of diners served or the number of drinks served. Prior to the activity-based costing study, the owner knew very little about the costs of the restaurant. She knew that the total cost for the month (including organization-sustaining costs) was $180,000 and that 12,000 diners had been served. Therefore, the average cost per diner was $15. Required: 182. According to the activity-based costing system, what is the total cost and average cost per diner for serving each of the following parties of diners? (Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places. Round your Total Cost final answers to 2 decimal places and your Average Cost final answers to 3 decimal places.) Total Cost a. A party of six diners who order five drinks in total. b. A party of two diners who do not order any drinks. C. A party of one diner who orders four drinks. Average Cost per diner per diner per diner
