Problem 7-20 (Algo) Evaluating the Profitability of Services [LO7-2, LO7-3, LO7-4, LO7-5) 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 $23.80 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 cleaning carpets Travel to jobs Job support Other (organization-sustaining costs and idle capacity costs) Activity Measure Square feet cleaned (00s) Miles driven Number of jobs Activity for the Year 6,500 hundred square feet 377,500 miles 2,100 jobs None Not applicable The total cost of operating the company for the year is $361,000 which includes the following costs: Wages cleaning supplies cleaning equipment depreciation Vehicle expenses Office expenses President's compensation Total cost $ 139,000 35,000 17,000 27,000 61,000 82,000 $ 361,000 Resource consumption is distributed across the activities as follows: Distribution of Resource Consumption Across Activities Cleaning Travel to Carpets Jobs Wages 78% 11% cleaning supplies 100% 0% cleaning equipment depreciation 71% 0% Vehicle expenses 0% 78% office expenses 0 % 0% President's compensation 0% 0% Job Support 0% 0% 0% 0% 64% 34% Other 11% 0% 29% 22% 36% 66% Total 100% 100% 100% 100% 100% 100% Job support consists of receiving calls from potential customers at the home office, scheduling jobs, billing, resolving issues, and so on.

Compute the cost of this job using the activity-based costing system. 4. The revenue from the Flying N Ranch was $190.40 (800 square feet @ $23.80 per hundred square feet).
