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 $23.10 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 Clean ing carpets Travel to j obs Job support Other (organizat i on-sustaining costs and idle Activity Measure Sauare feet cl eaned (00s) Miles dr iven Number of jobs Activity for the Year 12,000 hundred square feet 184,500 miles 1,900 jobs capacity costs) None Not applicable The total cost of operating the company for the year is $362,000 which includes the following costs ages Clean ing suppl ies Clean ing equipment depreciation ehicle expenses Office expenses Presi dent' s compensat ion Total cost 149, 000 32, 000 10, 000 27, 000 60, 000 84, 000 362, 000 $ Resource consumption is distributed across the activities as follows Distribution of Resource Consumption Across Activities Cleaning Travel to Carpets 79% 100% Jobs 13% Job Support 0ther lages Cleaning supplies Cleaning equi pment depreci at i on ehicle expen ses Off ice expenses President s compen sat i on Tot a l 100% 100% 100% 100% 100% 100% 0% 0% 28x 0% 0% 75% 62% 31% 69% Job support consists of receiving calls from potential customers at the home office, scheduling jobs, billing, resolving issues, and so on Required 1.
