Hi,

I have an accounting assignment I am having problems with.....the pictures attached shows what I need to answer, I need help figuring out how to compute these numbers.

President Yaabelt rolls out this new method of costing. he would like to analyze whether the results will be different from the existing method. The traditional method of allocating these costs has been to add up all of the costs and divide the amount by the total number of students attending the university to determine the cost per student. He has asked you. rst. to determine an appropriate cost driver and. second. to determine the cost of an accounting student [graduate and undergraduate} versus the cost of a science student (gradu- ate and undergraduate}. He 1would like you to prepare a report that includes your results and an analysis of your results. Required Prepare the report for President Yazhek.
