not involved Background: Cedar Cleaning Services (CCS) is a local business in the Tri-cities
area. It provides cleaning services to residential households and commercial establishments.
Both households and businesses sign contracts with CCS. As the contractor, CCS dispatches its
crew to the locations. The crew performs the cleaning as per the contracts and reports back to the
company's main desk. The main desk then prepares the invoices and sends them to the clients.
Clients have one day to pay the invoices. Sales volume can vary from one quarter to the next. In
terms of expenses, the main expense for CCS relates to labour. They pay crew members
competitive wages and benefits. The wage rate is calculated on an hourly basis and is fixed for
the entire year. The next expense item is cleaning supplies. CCS accounts for cleaning supplies
relative to the hours worked. For example, they estimate that cleaning supplies are consumed at a
rate of 0.2 litres per labour hour. This is a good measure because the longer it takes for a site to
be cleaned, the more the consumption of cleaning supplies. Cleaning supplies are procured from
a prominent vendor and the cost is fixed for the entire year. Sometimes clients are not happy
about the cleaning services and register a complaint. In that case, the crew is dispatched again for
a second cleaning. The hours accruing from such scenarios are not billed to the client as this
constitutes a 'service recovery'; however, the crew is paid for such hours. CCS maintains a record
of these hours and classifies them as 'unproductive hours,' or 'unbilled hours'. This is calculated
as a percentage of revenue earning hours (e.g., 10% of revenue generating hours). For this
assignment, assume that there is no consumption of cleaning materials when this second cleaning
is being done.
Budget for the Year 2022: The budget for the year 2022 was prepared in December 2021 and had
the following components: Revenue: The revenue is calculated as number of hours that the crew
works on a site, multiplied by the contracted rate with the client. The hours worked in the
residential and commercial segments are shown separately, and there is a total for the combined
hours worked. The revenue for each segment is arrived at by multiplying the hours for the
segment by the rate. The budget is prepared for four quarters, one to four. For 2022, the budgeted
sales hours were: For 2022, the budgeted selling price per hours were: Direct Labour Expense:
CCS will pay its employees an hourly rate of $27 for the entire year. Cleaning Supply Usage:
The budgeted usage is 0.33 litre / labour hour for the commercial segment and 0.38 litre/ labour
hour for the residential segment. This is constant for the entire year. Cleaning Supply Expense:
Budgeted expense is $6.29 per litre for the entire year.
Maintenance: Budgeted expense is $6,800 per quarter and is the same for all four qua.
