The Kamienski Cleaning Brigade Company 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.................	$185,752	21,700	hours
Job support.............	171,532	6,100	jobs
Client support........	15,124	760	clients
Other......................	240,000	Not	applicable
Total.......................	$612,408

The "Other" activity cost pool consists of the costs of idle capacity and organization-sustaining costs.

One particular client, the Whiddon family, requested 15 jobs during the year that required a total of 60 hours of housecleaning. For this service, the client was charged $1,170.
