Transcribed Image Text: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 $23.00 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:
