Kenosha Winter Services is a small, family$-$owned snow$-$removal business. For its services, the company has always charged a flat fee per hundred square metres of snow removal. The current fee is $$11\mathrm{.}55$ per hundred square metres. However, there is some question about whether the company is actually making any money on jobs for some customers$$particularly those located on more remote properties that require considerable travel time. The owner$$s daughter, home from school for the summer, has suggested investigating this question using ABC. After some discussion, a simple system consisting of four activity cost pools seemed to be adequate. The activity cost pools and their activity measures appear below:

Activity Cost Pool Activity Measure Activity for the Year

Snow removal Square metres cleaned $(00$s$)40,720$ hundred square metres

Travel to jobs Kilometres driven $20,000$ kilometres

Job support Number of jobs $250$ jobs

Other $($costs of idle capacity and organization$-$sustaining costs$)$ None NA

The total cost of operating the company for the year is $$450,000,$ which includes the following costs:

Wages $ $174,000$

Supplies $44,000$

Snow removal equipment depreciation $24,000$

Vehicle expenses $44,000$

Office expenses $68,000$

President$$s compensation $96,000$

Total cost $ $450,000$

Resource consumption is distributed across the activities as follows:
