*** It flagged the word support so job sub = job support
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 $22.60 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 | Activity Measure | Activity for the Year | |
| Cleaning carpets | Square feet cleaned (00s) | 12,500 | hundred square feet |
| Travel to jobs | Miles driven | 315,500 | miles |
| Job sup. | Number of jobs | 1,700 | jobs |
| Other (organization-sustaining costs and idle capacity costs) | None | Not applicable | |
The total cost of operating the company for the year is $379,000 which includes the following costs:
| Wages | $ | 150,000 |
| Cleaning supplies | 35,000 | |
| Cleaning equipment depreciation | 19,000 | |
| Vehicle expenses | 36,000 | |
| Office expenses | 61,000 | |
| President’s compensation | 78,000 | |
| Total cost | $ | 379,000 |
Resource consumption is distributed across the activities as follows:
| Distribution of Resource Consumption Across Activities | ||||||||||
| Cleaning Carpets | Travel to Jobs | Job Sup | Other | Total | ||||||
| Wages | 77 | % | 15 | % | 0 | % | 8 | % | 100 | % |
| Cleaning supplies | 100 | % | 0 | % | 0 | % | 0 | % | 100 | % |
| Cleaning equipment depreciation | 69 | % | 0 | % | 0 | % | 31 | % | 100 | % |
| Vehicle expenses | 0 | % | 84 | % | 0 | % | 16 | % | 100 | % |
| Office expenses | 0 | % | 0 | % | 57 | % | 43 | % | 100 | % |
| President’s compensation | 0 | % | 0 | % | 33 | % | 67 | % | 100 | % |
Job sup consists of receiving calls from potential customers at the home office, scheduling jobs, billing, resolving issues, and so on.
Required:
1.Prepare the first-stage allocation of costs to the activity cost pools.

2. Compute the activity rates for the activity cost pools. (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)
