Question: With respect to the previous problem concerned with the Curbside Motor Lodge, imagine you have conducted a detailed review of accounting records and found the following. The budgeted wage rate was £14 per hour and the budgeted allowance for cleaning rooms was half an hour per room night sold. The actual average wage rate paid was £15 per hour and 5,630.40 hours were worked cleaning rooms in the quarter ended 30 September 20X1. Room amenities were provided in guest bathrooms in small transparent plastic packs comprising shampoo, conditioner and a bar of soap. The lodge budgeted on each amenity pack costing £0.50 and the provision of one amenity pack per room night sold. It appears, however, that the rate of one pack per room night was exceeded as 13,040 amenity packs were issued from stock during the quarter. These amenity packs actually cost £0.40 each.
