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

Job support $129,546 5,400 jobs
Client support $20,900 760 clients

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.
