Use the information below to answer the following question(s).

A taxi company provides bussing service and limo service as well as taxi service.

Taxi drivers are paid $15 per hour and limo drivers are paid $25 per hour.

The company charges $2.00 per kilometre for taxi service and $3.50 per kilometre for limo service.

Two individual clients, the school board and the city government offices use the majority of the limo service on a contract agreement.. Bussing services are billed at $350 per day, for 38 buses used almost exclusively by the school board, and the taxi service is used almost exclusively by the general public, although the school board uses the taxi services when individual students have to be transported on occasion.

Indirect costs [the on-site repair garage] are accumulated on internal records at $1.50 per kilometre for limo use and $1.00 per kilometre for taxi use, and $195 per day for each bus.

The company’s costing system has tracked the following activities for the month:
