Hi, i want to ask, this is the question

11.29Contrasting the use of an activity cost driver with a volume-based cost driver

Better Pet Care Services is located in rural Victoria, and treats farm animals and domestic pets. Providing veterinary care to the farm animals requires travel to the individual farms in the area, while veterinary care to domestic pets is usually conducted in the surgery located in the town. One of the partners, Dr Al Sashon, recently attended a small business management course in Melbourne. He was particularly interested in the discussions on activity-based analysis, and how the technique could better identify the costs of providing different services. His partner, Dr Jack Russell, prefers to keep the accounting records simple, and would prefer to maintain the current system of allocating indirect costs based on professional labour hours. However, the partners did reach an agreement to undertake a comparison of the current indirect cost allocation and the proposed activity cost focus. The following information was collected.
