Retired Professor Housecleaning provides housecleaning services to its clients. The company uses an activity-based costing system for its overhead costs. The company has provided the following data from its activity-based costing system.

Activity Cost Pool Total Cost Total Activity
Cleaning $645,576 72,700 hours
Job support $129,546 5,400 jobs
Client support $20,900 760 clients
Other $110,547 Not applicable
Total $906,569

The "Other" activity cost pool consists of the cost of idle capacity based on a normal capacity measure. One particular client, the Anderson family, requested 31 jobs during the year that required a total of 62 hours of housecleaning. For this service, the client was charged $1,620.
Required:
a. Compute the activity rates (i. e., cost per unit of activity) for the activity cost pools. Round off all calculations to the nearest whole cent.
b. Using the activity-based costing system, compute the customer margin for the Anderson family. Round off all calculations to the nearest whole cent.
c. Assume the company decides instead to use a traditional costing system in which ALL costs are allocated to customers on the basis of cleaning hours. Compute the margin for the Anderson family. Round off all calculations to the nearest whole cent.

Adog whistle manufacturer's factory was located near a residential area. the manufacturer used the most effective methods for testing its whistles, but it was impossible to completely soundproof the testing area. a breeder of champion show dogs bought some property near the factory and raised and trained her dogs there. although the whistles were too high-pitched to be perceived by human ears, they could be heard by the breeder's dogs. consequently, the dogs often were in a constant state of agitation. in a suit by the breeder against the manufacturer, what is the likely outcome? response - correct a the breeder will prevail on a trespass theory, because the sound waves are entering onto the breeder's property. b the breeder will prevail on a nuisance theory, because the sound of the whistles is a substantial interference with the breeder's use of her land. c the breeder will not prevail, because the sound of the whistles is not a substantial interference with the breeder's use of her land. d the breeder will not prevail, because the manufacturer has acted reasonably in testing its whistles.
