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 bedelow maintenance Caring for garden beda-high maintenance Travel to jobs Customer billing and service Activity Measur Square feet of lawn Square feet of low maintenance bedo Square feet of high maintenance beds xile 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 Coutool Caring for law Caring for gaxden beds-low maintenance Caring for garden beds-high maintenance Travel to job Customer billing and service Hatimated Overhead Cont Expected Activ $ 81,000 200,000 square feet of lawn $3),600 28,000 square feet of low maintenance beds $ 58,740 22,000 square feet of high maintenance beds $ 4,600 19,000 miles $ 9,500 26 customers Required: Compute the activity rate for each of the activity cost pools, (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)

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.
