The East Montreal Air Force Base trains new pilots and aircraft maintenance personnel. The base commander requires a quarterly report on the actual cost incurred to train a pilot and a maintenance person. Fortunately, for those who have to determine these costs, the air base maintains only four cost centers: staff administration, personnel services, pilot training and maintenance training. The direct costs incurred to train 10 pilots and 100 maintenance personnel by each of these cost centers for the quarter just ended were as follows: 職 舺 Staff Personnel Pilot Maintenance Admin. $800,000 150,000 500,000 Services $560,000 Training $640,000 Training $400.000 Salaries and wages Materials costs 100,000 1,300,000 200,000 Other costs 300,000 600,000 300,000 Staff administration costs are allocated to other cost centers in proportion to each cost center's salaries and wages. Personnel services costs are allocated to cost centers in proportion to the number of people employed in each cost center. For the quarter, 24% of the base employees were assigned to staff administration, 20% to personnel services, 24% to Pilot training and 32% to maintenance training.
