Exercise 7-2 (Algo) First Stage Allocation [LO7-2]

SecuriCorp operates a fleet of armored cars that make scheduled pickups and deliveries in the Los Angeles area. The company is implementing an activity-based costing system that has four activity cost pools: Travel, Pickup and Delivery, Customer Service, and Other. The activity measures are miles for the Travel cost pool, number of pickups and deliveries for the Pickup and Delivery cost pool, and number of customers for the Customer Service cost pool. The Other cost pool has no activity measure because it is an organization-sustaining activity. The following costs will be assigned using the activity-based costing system:

Driver and guard wages$1,140,000

Vehicle operating expense570,000

Vehicle depreciation450,000

Customer representative salaries and expenses480,000

Office expenses340,000

Administrative expenses640,000

Total cost$3,620,000
