A transportation company provides bussing, limo and taxi service. The company charges: $350 per day for bussing service; $2.00 per kilometre for taxi service; and, $3.50 per kilometre for limo service. Two individual clients, the school board and the city government offices use the majority of the limo service on a contract agreement.

Indirect costs are accumulated on internal records at $1.50 per kilometre for limo use and $1.00 per kilometre for taxi use, and $195 per day for each of the twenty buses.
