Question details

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 $24.05 per hundred square feet. However, there is some question about whether the company is actually making any money on jobs for some customersparticularly those located on remote ranches that require considerable travel time. The owners 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 job:s Job support Other (organization-sustaining costs and Activity Measure Square feet cleaned (00s) Miles driven Number of jobs Activity for the Year 9,500 hundred square feet 178,500 miles 2,100 jobs idle capacity costs) None Not applicable The total cost of operating the company for the year is $362,000 which includes the following costs Wages Cleaning supplies Cleaning equipment depreciation Vehicle expenses Office expenses Presidents compensation Total cost 139,000 29,000 11,000 31,000 70,000 82,000 $ 362,000 Resource consumption is distributed across the activities as follows Distribution of Resource Consumption Across Activities Cleaning Travel Job Carpets Jobs 11% Support Other 18% 0% 32% 20% to 71% 00% 68% 0% 0% 0% 0% 0% 0% 0% 55% 33% Total 100% 100% 100% 100% 100% 100% Wages Cleaning supplies 0% leaning equipment depreciation Vehicle expenses Office expenses Presidents compensation 80% 0% 0%Job support consists of receiving calls from potential customers at the home office, scheduling jobs, billing, resolving issues, and so on.
