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 $23.75 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:

The total cost of operating the company for the year is $349,000 which includes the following costs:

Resource consumption is distributed across the activities as follows:

Job support 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.

3. The company recently completed a 600 square foot carpet-cleaning job at the Flying N Ranch—a 54-mile round-trip journey from the company’s offices in Bozeman. Compute the cost of this job using the activity-based costing system.

4. The revenue from the Flying N Ranch was $142.50 (600 square feet @ $23.75 per hundred square feet). Calculate the customer margin earned on this job.

The world comprises two countries, A and B. There is only one good, whose price is normalized to 1; hence nominal and real measures coincide. These two countries differ with respect to their production technology. In particular, ???? = 10 − 0.8?? and ???? = 7 − 0.7??, where ???? denotes the marginal product of capital and ?? the capital stock in country i = Α, Β. The total capital stock in the world is 10 units.

a) The initial allocation of capital is ?? = 5 and ?? = 5. Find each country’s total income as well as labor and capital income. What is the world income? [Mark: 0.75]

b) Next, consider the case where there is free capital mobility. Find the capital allocation between the two countries, each country’s total income, as well as labor and capital income. What happens to world income? Explain your answers. [Mark: 0.75]

c) Assume now that, succumbing to domestic pressure, the government of country A imposes a 30% tax on capital income. Show graphically the equilibria before and after taxation. Find the new capital allocation between the two countries, total income, tax revenue, as well as labor and net capital income in each country. Explain your answers. [Mark: 1.5] Note: Round your answers to the second decimal point.
