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 $11.60 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.
