Cost Accounting

Woodland Hotels, Inc., operates four resorts in the heavily wooded areas of northern California. The resorts are named after the predominant trees at the resort: Pine Valley, Oak Glen, Mimosa, and Birch Glen. Woodland allocates its central office costs to each of the four resorts according to the annual revenue the resort generates. For the current year, the central office costs (000s omitted) were as follows:

Front office personnel (desk, clerks, etc.)	$	9,500

Which costs should be collected in each of the four pools? (Enter your answers in thousands of dollars.)

	3)Using the cost pool system in requirement 2, how much of the central office costs would be allocated to each resort? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answers in thousands rounded to the nearest dollar.)
