Help Save & Exit Subm Check my work 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 $23.60 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 Activity Measure Activity for the Year Cleaning carpets Square feet cleaned (005) 12,500 hundred square feet Travel to jobs Miles driven 108, 500 miles Job support Number of jobs 1,700 jobs Other (organization-sustaining costs and idle capacity costs) Not applicable None The total cost of operating the company for the year is $366,000 which includes the following costs: Wages Cleaning supplies Cleaning equipment depreciation Vehicle expenses office expenses President's compensation Total cost $ 146,000 25,000 20,000 37,000 58,000 80,000 $ 366,000 D A 26 Check my work Job Resource consumption is distributed across the activities as follows: Distribution of Resource Consumption Across Activities Cleaning Travel Carpets to Jobs Wages Support 740 12 00 cleaning supplies 1008 08 08 cleaning equipment depreciation 678 OR OR Vehicle expenses 08 838 OR office expenses OR 08 578 President's compensation 08 08 288 Other 140 08 338 178 430 728 Total 1000 1005 1000 1008 1008 1000 Job support consists of receiving calls from potential customers at the home office, scheduling jobs, billing, resolving issues, and so on.
