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.)

3. The company recently completed a 200 square foot carpet-cleaning job at the Flying N Ranch—a 52-mile round-trip journey from the company’s offices in Bozeman. Compute the cost of this job using the activity-based costing system.
Cost of job =
4. The revenue from the Flying Ranch was $45.20 (200 square feet @ $22.60 per hundred square feet). Calculate the customer margin earned on this job.
Customer Margin =

In this assignment you will create a Word Macro-Enabled Document. The document will contain procedures with the following declarations:
• Sub Main()
• Sub GetGrades(grades() As Integer, total As Integer)
• Sub CreateOutput(className As String, grades() As Integer, total As Integer)
The Main sub-procedure will be the macro that initializes the task. In this procedure you will declare all necessary variables, prompt the user to enter the name of the class and the number of students, resize the grades array appropriately, then make calls to each of the other procedures in the order they are listed at the beginning of these instructions.
The GetGrades procedure will use a loop to prompt the user for the grade for each student. Also within the loop a running total of all grades will be kept.
The CreateOutput procedure will create the output shown in the demo video linked below. Think about building a single string that contains all the output information. You can then assign that string to the Text property of the ActiveDocument Range. Use the built in
