Acme Mexico City (AMC) has purchased a site in which the new location will be built and contracted CSL Project Management Corporation to oversee management and construction. Funding for this location will be $100000000100000 and it is to take no longer than 12 months to complete. The location will resemble Acme’s other locations with 100,000/sq. ft. of indoor space and 10,000/sq. ft. of additional exterior space for garden products.

    The shared costs of each service line can be allocated in several different ways. You can allocate based on FTE’s, direct-labor costs, direct labor plus direct materials or by square footage usage. If you were to allocate the shared costs for Finnegan’s Gardens by FTE you would allocate $24,778 to design, $89,203 to installation, $56,991 to maintenance and $24,778 to administration. To calculate the allocation based on FTE’s, I divided the FTE number given for each service line and divided it by the total number of FTE’s. I then multiplied the result by the total shared costs of $195,750. If you chose to allocate based on direct labor, you would allocate $43,843 to design, $119,360 to installation and $76,390 to maintenance. To allocate the costs based on direct labor, I calculated the direct labor rate per hour for each service line. I divided this number by the total direct labor hours and multiplied that result by the total of the shared costs. If you add in the direct materials to the direct labor, you would allocate $42,231 to design, $94,736 to installation and $58,782 to maintenance. I used the same method to allocate the direct labor plus direct materials as I used to allocate the costs based on direct labor. The last method I used for allocating the shared costs was based on the square footage. To allocate the shared costs based on square footage, you would allocate $$113,661 to design, $20,522 to installation, $20,522 to maintenance and $41,044 to administration.…

    The first store opened in November of 2000 near the beach area of Vancouver. The goal in mind was to create a healthy living community, where one could walk in and learn and discuss, as well as shop. This method created a more welcoming experience for the customer, however, it made it nearly impossible to help the customer this way on top of selling the products. Educators were then added to the staff, who were trained so well that they could influence their own families, communities, and most importantly the customers. This success of this…
