Gallatin Carpet Cleaning is a small, family-owned business operating out of Bozeman, Montana. For its services, the company has always charged a flat fee per hundred square feet of carpet cleaned. The current fee is $23.95 per hundred square feet. However there is some question about whether the company is actually making any money on jobs for some customers-particularly those located on remote ranches that require considerable travel time. The owner's daughter, home for the summer from college, has suggested investigating this question using activity-based costing. After some discussion, she designed a simple system consisting of four activity cost pools. The activity cost pools and their activity measures appear below: Activity Cost Pool Cleaning carpets Travel to jobs Job support Other (organization-sustaining costs and idle capacity costs) Activity Measure Square feet cleaned (00s) Miles driven Activity for the Year 14,000 hundred square feet 70,500 miles 1,800 jobs Number of jobs Not applicable None The total cost of operating the company for the year is $353,000 which includes the following costs 137,000 32,000 14,000 28,000 64,000 78,000 Wages Cleaning supplies Cleaning equipment depreciation Vehicle expenses Office expenses President's compensation $ 353,000 Total cost otfice expenses President's compensation 64,00O 78,000 $ 353,000 Total cost Resource consumption is distributed across the activities as follows Distribution of Resource Consumption Across Activities Cleaning Travel Carpets to Jobs 79% Job Total Support other 100% Wages Cleaning supplies Cleaning equipment depreciation Vehicle expenses Office expenses President's compensation 13% 8% 100% 100% 70% 30% 100% 0% 24% 76% 100% 44% 100% 56% 35% 65% 100% Job support consists of receiving calls from potential customers at the home office, scheduling jobs, billing, resolving issues, and so on Required 1.
