Problem:
Retrieve any report in the organization, such as Wal-mart, that allocates common costs to a division, product, or service. Recast that report with unallocated costs and comment on the usefulness of the revised report.
If you cannot identify specific actual amounts, make a reasonable estimate and apply the tool as if the data were factual.
If you are unable to identify any report with allocated costs, create a report that you think may apply to an organization, such as Wal-mart, and treat the data as if it were factual.
Your report should include:
1) The name and nature of the organization
2) The activity and time period you used
3) The inputs you used
4) Your results
5) Any implications from your results
