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 $23.95 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) | 11,000 | hundred square feet |
| Travel to jobs | Miles driven | 230,000 | miles |
| Job support | Number of jobs | 2,100 | jobs |
| Other (organization-sustaining costs and idle capacity costs) | None | Not applicable | |
The total cost of operating the company for the year is $358,000 which includes the following costs:
| Wages | $ | 143,000 |
| Cleaning supplies | 21,000 | |
| Cleaning equipment depreciation | 17,000 | |
| Vehicle expenses | 30,000 | |
| Office expenses | 68,000 | |
| President’s compensation | 79,000 | |
| Total cost | $ | 358,000 |
Resource consumption is distributed across the activities as follows:
| Distribution of Resource Consumption Across Activities | ||||||||||
| Cleaning Carpets | Travel to Jobs | Job Support | Other | Total | ||||||
| Wages | 75 | % | 14 | % | 0 | % | 11 | % | 100 | % |
| Cleaning supplies | 100 | % | 0 | % | 0 | % | 0 | % | 100 | % |
| Cleaning equipment depreciation | 69 | % | 0 | % | 0 | % | 31 | % | 100 | % |
| Vehicle expenses | 0 | % | 75 | % | 0 | % | 25 | % | 100 | % |
| Office expenses | 0 | % | 0 | % | 65 | % | 35 | % | 100 | % |
| President’s compensation | 0 | % | 0 | % | 27 | % | 73 | % | 100 | % |
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 $143.70 (600 square feet @ $23.95 per hundred square feet). Calculate the customer margin earned on this job.
Prepare the first-stage allocation of costs to the activity cost pools.

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

Background: Leaders are the most important and powerful influence
on the culture of an organization. A leader must earn and develop
credibility and trust from desirable actions and behaviours. This
activity is aimed at helping students (as future leaders) to
consider the role of the leader in setting the moral tone and
ethical climate at the workplace.
Instructions: Discuss your approach to the following 4 ethical
dilemmas, in terms of the potential consequences that each dilemma
present and your leadership advice.
SCENARIO A: Sorenson has been the head of the Sales department
for the last 6 months. Approaching the end of the financial year,
Thomas, the president of the company wants him to increase the
projections for new sales for the next year in order to guarantee
that the board endorses their new product line. The current data
does not support the numbers the president wants to use. On the one
hand, Sorenson does report directly to the president and he wants
Thomas to see him as a team player. On the other hand, the numbers
can lead to devastation if the sales team does not come through by
the middle of next year. What should Sorenson do?
SCENARIO B :Sara is a relatively new lecturer at the university and
is eager to show that she fits in well with the existing culture.
Although new, her husband is a well-known benefactor to the
university and to the faculty where Sara works. Jenny, a teaching
assistant assigned to Sara’s courses, informs her of complaints she
has received from Sara’s students about her inability to answer
questions in class and her inaccessibility after class. Fearing
that she would lose her job, Sara approaches the faculty Dean to
falsely report that the students were complaining about Jenny. The
Dean calls Jenny into a meeting and asks her to respond to the
allegations. Advise Jenny.
SCENARIO C: Joe and Elena have openly expressed their interest in
filling the post of vice president of student affairs for a
faith-based educational institution after Mrs. Hayward’s
retirement. One evening, Joe was trolling various social media
platforms when he discovered a video of Elena behaving unruly at a
music festival in 1998. Determined to set a high standard for staff
and students, the employer frowns heavily upon any unfavourable
behaviours of their employees. If he presents this video to the
hiring manager, it will look as if he wanted to undermine Elena’s
chance of getting the job. What should he do?
SCENARIO D: Zoya works for a small toy manufacturing company that
offers a wide variety of products to the popular GoodSmart
franchise. One of the designers of the latest action figure was
recently fired for falsifying reports on recent test trials to push
the toy to market. Apparently, the latest action figure posed a
potential choking hazard to young children. Zoya wonders if she
should report the potential hazard before anyone gets hurt.
However, the recall would cost her company money and result in loss
of sales. Advise Zoya.

You are attempting to determine whether you are taller or shorter than the average student currently enrolled in your university. You have just learned about sampling and have decided to sample students to determine the average height at your university.
Required: What are some advantages and disadvantages of using sampling to answer this question as opposed to examining the entire population? Give some other examples of when you would be more likely to use sampling (applied to this particular example) as opposed to examining the entire population. In what cases might you want to examine the entire population?

3. The Idaho State University athletics department conducted a research study to see how many students attended a women’s lacrosse game last season. There are 14,400 students attending Idaho State University, and the study showed that 400 of 1250 students sampled attended a women’s lacrosse game. What inferences can be made about student attendance at women’s lacrosse games?
(a) What is the estimated proportion for the population?
(b) Using the 95% level of confidence, what is the confidence interval?
(c) Using the 99% level of confidence, what is the confidence interval?
