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 $10.25 per hundred square metres. However, there is some question about whether the company is actually making any money on jobs for some customersparticularly those located on more remote properties that require considerable travel time. The owners 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 (00s)	53,750 hundred square metres
Travel to jobs	Kilometres driven	30,040 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 $525,000, which includes the following costs:

Wages	$	204,000
Supplies		49,000
Snow removal equipment depreciation		29,000
Vehicle expenses		49,000
Office expenses		78,000
Presidents compensation		116,000
Total cost	$	525,000

Resource consumption is distributed across the activities as follows:

	Distribution of Resource Consumption across Activity Cost Pools
	Snow Removal			Travel to Jobs			Job Support			Other			Total
Wages		70	%		20	%		0	%		10	%		100	%
Supplies		100	%		0	%		0	%		0	%		100	%
Snow removal equipment depreciation		80	%		0	%		0	%		20	%		100	%
Vehicle expenses		0	%		70	%		0	%		30	%		100	%
Office expenses		0	%		0	%		40	%		60	%		100	%
Presidents compensation		0	%		0	%		45	%		55	%		100	%

Job support consists of receiving calls from potential customers at the home office, scheduling jobs, billing, resolving issues, and so on.
