Question:
Exhibit 5B gives the cost to fill potholes with a ton of asphalt in each of the five districts. Those calculations assume that the activities are performed without any of the improvements that were discovered with the help of the activity-based costing (ABC) calculations. With the ABC information in hand, management and the people in street management improved the pothole-filling process. After the improvements, the unions and Bridget Anderson from KPMG agree that all costs of pothole-filling are covered by the figures in Exhibit 6.
Calculate the cost of 1 ton of asphalt pothole-filling in the Northwest district after the pothole-filling process is improved. (Hint: The indirect cost pool in Exhibit 6 refers to the overhead costs in Exhibit 5B)
