SecuriCorp operates a fleet of armored cars that make scheduled pickups and deliveries in the Los Angeles area. The company is implementing an activity-based costing system that has four activity cost pools: Travel, Pickup and Delivery, Customer Service, and Other. The activity measures are miles for the Travel cost pool, number of pickups and deliveries for the Pickup and Delivery cost pool, and number of customers for the Customer Service cost pool. The Other cost pool has no activity measure because it is an organization-sustaining activity. The following costs will be assigned using the activity-based costing system:

 Driver and guard wages $1,080,000  
  Vehicle operating expense 510,000  
  Vehicle depreciation 390,000  
  Customer representative salaries and expenses 420,000  
  Office expenses 280,000  
  Administrative expenses 580,000  
 
  Total cost $3,260,000
