Ernest Sevigny, the administrator of Cook Community Hospital, has become interested in obtaining more accurate cost allocations on the basis of cause and effect. The $217,600 of laundry costs had been allocated on the basis of 680,000 pounds processed for all departments, or $0.32 per pound. Sevigny is concerned that govemment health care officials will require weighted statistics to be used for cost allocation. He asks you, "Please develop a revised base for allocating laundry costs. It should be better than our present base, but it should not be overly complex either." You study the situation and find that the laundry processes a large volume of uniforms for student nurses and physicians and for dietary, housekeeping, and other personnel. In particular, the coats or jackets wom by personnel in the radiology department take an unusual amount of handwork. A special study of laundry for radiology revealed that 7,200 of the 14,000 pounds were jackets and coats that were four times as expensive to process as regular laundry items. Several reasons explained the difference, but it was principally because of handwork involved. Assume that no special requirements were needed in departments other than radiology. Read the requirements. Requirement 1. Revise the cost-allocation base to take into account that jackets in the radiology department used four times as much of the laundry resources as regular laundry items and compute the new cost-allocation rate Begin by identifying the new allocation base. The cost driver to be used as a cost allocation base should be Compute the new cost-allocation rate First, identify the revised cost allocation formula then compute number of pieces processed number of pounds processed pounds of soiled laundry weighted number of pounds processed to three decimal places.)
