Jimmy’s Suit House (JSH) rents out designer apparel to customers who want to wear formal suits on special events but are unwilling to purchase them. For example, a customer can rent a $1,000 suit for $25 per day for a 10-day rental period. To rent a suit, a customer visits the JSH website, which shows the available suits and their rental prices. The number of webpage views is surprisingly large, but not everyone finally rents. Many leave the website because of not finding the suits they like. On average, JSH sees the demand of 200 rental orders per day. To ensure that enough customers find suits, JSH keeps 1,600 suits in their Rental-Ready Inventory, including different styles and sizes. This number must be substantial due to the variety of suits JSH keeps and the policy that JSH ships two suits (same style in two different sizes) to satisfy a customer’s request for one suit. When taking a rental order, JSH requires that a customer specify two sizes for the requested suit—the most…

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 $23.40 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 Cleaning carpets Travel to jobs Job support Other (organization-sustaining costs and idle capacity costs) Activity Measure Square feet cleaned (00s) Miles driven Number of jobs None Activity for the Year 8,000 hundred square feet 407,500 miles 1,900…

The twig stands are more popular, so Bobby sells four twig stands for every one oak stand. Katie charges her husband $400 to share her booth at the craft shows (after all, she has paid the entrance fees). How many of each plant stand does Bobby need to sell to breakeven? Will this affect the number of scarves Katie needs to sell to breakeven? Explain. Bobby Arthur admired his wife's success at selling scarves at local crafts shows, so he decided to make two types of plant stands to sell at the shows. Bobby makes twig stands out of downed wood from his backyard and the yards of his neighbors, so his variable cost is minimal (wood screws, glue, and so forth).
