Copy of Riley's Land Management Company has $27,000 in indirectcosts operating her company. She has identified three activitiesthat drive these indirect cost and created three related cost poolsas detailed below:

Gas | $1,800 | 400 gallons |
Invoices | $1,200 | 250 invoices |
Total costs | $27,000 | |
Riley has three divisions. Each division uses different amountof the cost driving activities as described below.
Department | Lawn | Bush | Plowing | Total |
Labor hours (hours) | 350 | 200 | ? | 900 |
Gas (gallons) | 130 | ? | 60 | 400 |
