Dl Castelo, Villasin and Barrera is a large, local accounting firm located in Cebu. Belle Castelo, one of the Firm's founders, appreciates the success her firm has enjoyed and wants to give something back to her community. She believes that an inexpensive accounting services clinic could provide basic accounting services for small businesses located in the province. She wants to price the services at cost.
Since the clinic is brand new, it has no experience to go on. Belle decided to operate the clinic for two months before determining how much to charge per hour on an ongoing basis. As a temporary measure, the clinic adopted an hourly charge of P50, half the amount charged by Castelo, Villasin and Barrera for professional services.
The accounting services clinic opened on January 1. During January, the clinic had 120 hours of professional service. During February, the activity was 150 hours. Costs for these two levels of activity usage are as follows:
Professional hours 120 hours 150 hours
Salaries:
Senior accountant P2,500 P2,
Office assistant 1,200 1,
Internet and software subscriptions 700 850 Consulting by senior partner 1,200 1, Depreciation (equipment) 2,400 2, Supplies 905 1, Administration 500 500 Rent (offices) 2,000 2, Utilities 332 365
