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 $22.30 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) 9,500 hundred square feet Travel to jobs Miles driven 292,000 miles Job support Number of jobs 2,000 jobs Other (organization-sustaining costs and idle…
displaying at a craft fair, a representative of a mail order catalog company wants to put your product in the catalog. It will pay you $40 and mark up the product to $55 for the catalog. It estimates that your market share could be substantial and should be dependent only on your production output. You decide to quit your real job and devote all your time to making wreaths, but you want to match your current $50,000 salary. You really don’t want to work more than 40 hours per week in actual wreath manufacturing (assume all paperwork, material purchasing, and such takes place beyond those 40 hours). You want four weeks a year for vacation, holidays, and sick days or personal days. Taking into consideration time constraints, the price you will get from the catalog company, and your revised costs, does this make sense? Assume each wreath has $5 costs and takes one hour to construct.

The Shirt Works sells a large variety of tee shirts and sweatshirts. Steve Hooper, the owner, is thinking of expanding his sales by hiring high school students, on a commission basis, to sell sweatshirts bearing the name and mascot of the local high school. These sweatshirts would have to be ordered from the manufacturer six weeks in advance, and they could not be returned because of the unique printing required. The sweatshirts would cost Hooper $20.00 each with a minimum order of 151 sweatshirts. Any additional sweatshirts would have to be ordered in increments of 151. Since Hooper’s plan would not require any additional facilities, the only costs associated with the project would be the costs of the sweatshirts and the costs of the sales commissions. The selling price of the sweatshirts would be $40.00 each. Hooper would pay the students a commission of $8.00 for each shirt sold. Required: 1. What level of unit sales and dollar sales is needed to attain a target profit of…

Moisha is developing material standards for her company. The operations manager wants grade A widgets because they are the easiest to work with and are the quality the customers want. Grade B will not work because customers do not want the lower grade, and it takes more time to assemble the product than with grade A materials. Moisha calls several suppliers to get prices for the widget. All are within $0.05 of each other. Since they will use millions of widgets, she decides that the $0.05 difference is important. The supplier who has the lowest price is known for delivering late and low-quality materials. Moisha decides to use the supplier who is $0.02 more but delivers on time and at the right quality. This supplier charges $0.42 per widget. Each unit of product requires 5 widgets. What is the standard cost per unit for widgets? Round your answer to two decimal places. Standard cost per unit $fill in the blank 1
