Vance Asbestos Removal Company removes potentially toxic asbestos insulation and related products from buildings. The company's estimator has been Involved in a long-simmering dispute with the on-site work supervisors. The on-site supervisors claim that the estimator does not adequately distinguish between routine work, such as removal of asbestos insulation around heating pipes In older homes, and non-routine work, such as removing asbestos-contaminated celling plaster in Industrial buildings. The on-site supervisors believe that non-routine work is far more expensive than routine work and should bear higher customer charges. The estimator sums up his position In this way: "My job is to measure the area to be cleared of asbestos. As directed by top management, I simply multiply the square metres by $4,400 per thousand square metres to determine the bid price. Since our average cost is only $3,400 per thousand square metres, that leaves enough cushion to take care of the additional costs of non-routine work that shows up. Besides, It Is difficult to know what is routine or not routine until you actually start tearing things apart." To shed light on this controversy, the company initiated an ABC study of all of its costs. Data from the ABC system follow: Activity Cost Pool Activity Measure Total Activity Removing asbestos Thousands of square metres 50e, age m- Estimating and job setup Number of jobs 240 jobs* Working on non-routine jobs Number of non-routine jobs 25 non-routine jobs Other (costs of idle capacity and Not applicable; these costs are not organization-sustaining costs) allocated to jobs. The total number of jobs Includes non-routine jobs as well as routine Jobs. Non-routine jobs as well as routine Jobs require estimating and setup work. Wages and salaries 240, 090 Disposal fees 660, 080 Equipment depreciation 92, 908 On-site supplies 68, 098 Office expenses 222, 098 Licensing and insurance 418, 098 Total cost $1, 700, 090 Distribution of Resource Consumption across Activity Cost Pools Removing Estimating and Working on Non- Asbestos Job Setup routine Jobs Other Total Wages and salaries 40% 10% 35% 15% 190% Disposal fees 75% 25% 190% Equipment depreciation 45% 49% 15% 190% On-site supplies 15% 25% 10% Office expenses 10% 30% 20% 190% Licensing and insurance 50% ex 45% 5% 190%1.
