    Correct Answer
    Undistributed
    Explanation
    Undistributed expense refers to expenses that cannot be directly allocated to a specific revenue-generating activity or department. These expenses are not directly linked to any particular revenue source and are therefore considered as undistributed. This means that they are not assigned to a specific cost center or revenue category. Instead, they are typically allocated across the organization or absorbed as part of the overall operational costs.

    ADR stands for Average Daily Rate, which is a metric used in the hospitality industry to calculate the average revenue earned per occupied room in a hotel. It is calculated by dividing the total room revenue by the number of occupied rooms.

    Average Check, on the other hand, is a metric used in the food and beverage industry to calculate the average amount spent by a customer on a single visit. It is calculated by dividing the total revenue from food and beverage sales by the number of customers.

    Both ADR and Average Check are averages that can be found using the formula revenue/statistics = average. However, ADR is specific to the Rooms Division, while Average Check is specific to Food and Beverage.
