Green Thumb Gardening is a small gardening service that uses activity-based costing to estimate costs for pricing and other purposes. The proprietor of the company believes that costs are driven primarily by the size of customer lawns, the size of customer garden beds, the distance to travel to customers, and the number of customers. In addition, the costs of maintaining garden beds depends on whether the beds are low maintenance beds (mainly ordinary trees and shrubs) or high maintenance beds (mainly flowers and exotic plants). Accordingly, the company uses the five activity cost pools listed below:

Activity Cost Pool Activity Measure
Caring for lawn Square feet of lawn
Caring for garden beds–low maintenance Square feet of low maintenance beds
Caring for garden beds–high maintenance Square feet of high maintenance beds
Travel to jobs Miles
Customer billing and service Number of customers

SecuriCorp operates a fleet of armored cars that make scheduled pickups and deliveries in the Los Angeles area. The company is implementing an activity-based costing system that has four activity cost pools: Travel, Pickup and Delivery, Customer Service, and Other. The activity measures are miles for the Travel cost pool, number of pickups and deliveries for the Pickup and Delivery cost pool, and number of customers for the Customer Service cost pool.

Driver and guard wages $ 880,000
Vehicle operating expense 310,000
Vehicle depreciation 190,000
Customer representative salaries and expenses 220,000
Office expenses 80,000
Administrative expenses 380,000
Total cost $ 2,060,000

Required:

Make a Job Cost Sheet for the Standard Units. Use the following Direct Materials and Direct Labor information.

- Direct Materials $5,987

- Direct Labor $7,821

For Overhead, computer overhead rates for each of the three activities. Hint, you will divide each activity's budgeted cost by the TOTAL amount of that activity's cost driver. So you will need to add Purchases for Standard and Deluxe to get the total denominator for that activity. (Round activity rate and cost per unit answers to 2 decimal places.)

Your Job Cost Sheet will include:

Direct Materials

+ Direct Labor

+ Overhead for Purchasing

+ Overhead for Designing

+ Overhead for Shipping

= Total Job Cost

/ Units Produced

The answer you type in will be the Per Unit Cost of the Standard Units. Round your answer to the nearest 2 decimal places
