Problem 7-19 Evaluating the Profitability of Services [LO2, LO3, LO4] 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. 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 Snow removal Travel to jobs Job support Other (costs of idle capacity and organization- sustaining costs) Activity Measure Square metres cleaned (00s) Kilometres driven Number of jobs None Activity for the Year 36,730 hundred square metres 16,250 kilometres 400 jobs The total cost of operating the company for the year is $405,000, which includes the following costs: Wages $156,000 Supplies 41,000 Snow removal equipment depreciation 21,000 Vehicle expenses 41,000 Office expenses 62,000 President's compensation 84,000 Total cost $405,000 Resource consumption is distributed across the activities as follows: Resource consumption is distributed across the activities as follows: Distribution of Resource Consumption across Activity Cost Pools Travel to Snow Removal Jobs Job Support Other Total Wages 80% 10% 0% 10% 100% Supplies 100% 0% 0% 0% 100% Snow removal equipment depreciation 85% 0% 0% 15% 100% Vehicle expenses 0% 65% 0% 35% 100% Office expenses 0% 0% 45% 55% 100% President's compensation 0% 0% 35% 65% 100% Job support consists of receiving calls from potential customers at the home office, scheduling jobs, billing, resolving issues, and so on.
