HyStandard Services, Inc. provides residential painting services for three home building
companies, Alpine, Blue Ridge, and Pineola, and it uses a job costing system for determining
the costs for completing each job. The job cost system does not capture any cost incurred by
HyStandard for return touchups and refinishes after the homeowner occupies the home.
HyStandard paints each house on a square footage contract price, which includes painting as
well as all refinishes, and touchups required after the homes are occupied. Each year, the
company generates about one-third of its total revenues and gross profits from each of the three
builders. The HyStandard owner has observed that the builders, however, require substantially
different levels of support following the completion of jobs. The following data have been
gathered:
