Tesla is a company recently in the news for a conflict of interest between the SEC and the CEO Elon Musk due to an interest to bring the company private by the CEO who shared on Twitter his short term plans. Production issues, a number of layoffs and the increasing demand for the electric vehicles were expressed by the CEO as reasons to bring the company private that would allow the company to restructure its company internally. The company has since rescinded its position remaining as a public company. The SEC stated that it was swaying investors by stating that the company would do so when it reached a stock price of $420 forcing investors to make a decision or artificially driving the stock price to the sale price in order to bring the company private faster. Elon Musk has previously tweeted about its stock price in terms of its standing in the market however this is the first where the market has reacted to his tweets negatively. Possible solutions to the situation would be to address investors by other measures in addition to Twitter. Twitter being a social network for CEO’s to interact with customers and investors directly however a more formal approach might have been ideal in this situation.

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 $22.75 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 $136.50 (600 square feet @ $22.75 per hundred square feet). Calculate the customer margin earned on this job.

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. The Other cost pool has no activity measure because it is an organization-sustaining activity. The following costs will be assigned using the activity-based costing system:

The distribution of resource consumption across the activity cost pools is as follows:

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:

Vance Asbestos Removal Company removes potentially toxic asbestos insulation and related products from buildings. The company’s estimator has been involved in a long-simmering dispute with the on-site work supervisors. The on-site supervisors claim that the estimator does not adequately distinguish between routine work, such as removal of asbestos insulation around heating pipes in older homes, and non-routine work, such as removing asbestos-contaminated ceiling plaster in industrial buildings. The on-site supervisors believe that non-routine work is far more expensive than routine work and should bear higher customer charges. The estimator sums up his position in this way: “My job is to measure the area to be cleared of asbestos. As directed by top management, I simply multiply the square metres by $4,700 per thousand square metres to determine the bid price. Since our average cost is only $3,700 per thousand square metres, that leaves enough cushion to take care of the additional costs of non-routine work that shows up. Besides, it is difficult to know what is routine or not routine until you actually start tearing things apart.”

To shed light on this controversy, the company initiated an ABC study of all of its costs. Data from the ABC system follow:

* The total number of jobs includes non-routine jobs as well as routine jobs. Non-routine jobs as well as routine jobs require estimating and setup work.

Required:

1. Perform the first-stage allocation of costs to the activity cost pools. (Do not leave any empty spaces; input a 0 wherever it is required.)

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

3. Using the activity rates you have computed, determine the total cost and the average cost per thousand square metres of each of the following jobs according to the ABC system:

a. A routine 1,000-square-metre asbestos removal job. (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)

total costs of jobs

average cost per thousand square meters

b. A routine 2,000-square-metre asbestos removal job. (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)

total cost of jobs

cost per thousand square meters

c. A non-routine 1,000-square-metre asbestos removal job. (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)
