Securi
Corp operates a fleet of armored cars that make scheduled pickups and
deliveries in the Los Angeles area. The company is implementing an
activity-based costing system that has four activity cost pools: Travel, Pickup
and Delivery, Customer Service, and Other. The activity measures are miles for
the Travel cost pool, number of pickups and deliveries for the Pickup and
Delivery cost pool, and number of customers for the Customer Service cost pool.
The Other cost pool has no activity measure because it is an
organization-sustaining activity. The following costs will be assigned using
the activity-based costing system:

Green Thumb Gardening is a small gardening service
that uses activity-based costing to estimate costs for pricing and other
purposes. The proprietor of the company believes that costs are driven
primarily by the size of customer lawns, the size of customer garden beds, the
distance to travel to customers, and the number of customers. In addition, the
costs of maintaining garden beds depends on whether the beds are low
maintenance beds (mainly ordinary trees and shrubs) or high maintenance beds
(mainly flowers and exotic plants). Accordingly, the company uses the five
activity cost pools listed below:
Activity Cost Pool |
Activity Measure |
Caring for lawn |
Square feet of lawn |
Caring for garden beds–low maintenance |
Square feet of low maintenance beds |
Caring for garden beds–high maintenance |

CD
Express, Inc., provides CD duplicating services for its customers. An order
from a customer can be for a single copy or for thousands of copies. Most jobs
are broken down into batches to allow smaller jobs, with higher priorities, to
have access to the machines.
A
number of activities carried out at CD Express are listed below.
Required:
Classify
each of the activities below as either a unit-level, batch-level,
product-level, customer-level, or organization-sustaining activity. An order to
duplicate a particular CD is a product-level activity. Assume the order is
large enough that it must be broken down into batches.
