BTN 24-6 ("Hitting the road") (p. 955 of the textbook, and reproduced below)

Movie theaters are closed now, so the "visit to a local movie theater" required in this problem will be imaginary, based on your recollections of visits to movie theaters you've made in the past.

Use your Group's Announcements area to discuss and agree on who on your team will analyze which cost category identified in part 2 of the problem: heat, rent, insurance, or maintenance. In developing your expense allocation system, assume that of the 16 auditoriums, ten of them each have 150 seats, and the other six each have 400 seats.

In your Group's Discussion forum, individually complete part 2; each student should take a different expense category (heat/air conditioning, rent, insurance, or maintenance), and propose how this expense category should be allocated across (a) the various-sized auditoriums and (b) the concessions operations. For full credit, your proposal should be clear and detailed.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Navigate to your Group Homepage by hovering your cursor over our course at the Courses dropdown menu at the top of this page. Use your Group's Announcement tool to decide among your teammates who will tackle which expense in part 2.

2. Once your roles are agreed, post your solution for your chosen expense category (heat/air conditioning, rent, insurance, or maintenance) in your group's Graded discussion forum.

3. For full credit, be sure to provide thoughtful and constructive comments to at least 2 of your teammates.

BTN 24-6

"Visit" a local movie theater and check out both its concession area and its viewing areas. The manager of a theater must confront questions such as:

• How much return do we earn on concessions?

• What types of movies generate the greatest sales?

• What types of movies generate the greatest net income?

Required

Assume that you are the new accounting manager for a 16-screen movie theater (ten of the auditoriums have 150 seats each; the other six auditoriums each have 400 seats). You are to set up a responsibility accounting reporting framework for the theater.

1. Recommend how to segment the different departments of a movie theater for responsibility reporting.

2. Propose an expense allocation system for heat/air conditioning, rent, insurance, and maintenance costs of the theater.
