b. If the cost of new equipment is allocated to clients benefitted, what is the cost per client and the cost per call benefitted?
c. Assume that Kingsley Call Service charges the costs to the clients as indicated in (b). Client A estimates that a total of 30,000 calls will be processed by Kingsley over the life of the equipment advances. How should Client A allocate the new costs to itscallers?
