Gino's Restaurant is a popular restaurant in Boston, Massachusetts. The owner of the restaurant has been trying to better understand costs at the restaurant and has hired a student intern to conduct an activity- based costing study. The intern, in consultation with the owner, identified the following major activities: Activity Measure Activity Cost Pool Serving a party of diners Serving a diner Serving drinks Number of parties served Number of diners served Number of drinks ordered Some costs, such as the cost of cleaning the linens that cover the restaurant's tables, vary with the number of parties served. Other costs, such as washing plates and glasses, depends on the number of diners served or the number of drinks served. Data concerning these activities are shown below Serving a Party Serving a DinnerServing Drinks $66,400 Total $220,000 $102,000 $51,600 Total cost Total activity 8,000 parties 20,000 diners 43,000 drinks 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 was $220,000 and that 20,000 diners had been served. Therefore, the average cost per diner was $11.00 ($220,000 20,000 diners = $11.00 per diner)
