Amount to be charged to arrive at break even.

Lifsey Wedding Fantasy Company makes very elaborate wedding cakes to order. The owner of the company has provided the following data concerning the activity rates in its activity-based costing system:

Activity Cost Pools	Activity Rate
Size- related	$0.94 per guest
Complexity- related	$ 31.62 per tier
Order-related	$ 55.79 per order

The measure of activity for the size-related activity cost pool is the number of planned guests at the wedding reception. The greater the number of guests, the larger the cake. The measure of complexity is the number of tiers in the cake. The activity measure for the order-related cost pool is the number of orders. (Each wedding involves one order). The activity rates include the costs of raw ingredients such as a flour, miniature statues and wedding bells, which are accounted for separately.

Data concerning two recent orders below:

	Pyburn wedding	Smith wedding
Number of reception guests	72	189
Number of tiers on the cake	4	5
Cost of purchased decorations for cake	$29.92	$62.75

a) $279.87

b) $55.79
