Green Thumb Landscaping (GTL) provides landscaping and lawn care service to both residential and commercial customers. Its landscaping service designs lawns, which can result in planting new shrubs, trees, flowers, as well as installing new turf. The company provides free estimates of the cost for new designs. GTL also provides routine lawn care services for two types of lawns: low-maintenance lawns (primarily pruning trees and shrubs) and high maintenance lawns (routine grass cutting and maintenance of flower beds). The company uses a job costing system that tracks costs for each job and by customer types (residential and commercial). Currently, the company views its operations as offering three types of services: installing new lawns, providing low-maintenance, and providing high- maintenance. When installing new lawns, the company purchases trees, shrubs, flowers, and turf from various suppliers, as well as stones and rocks used in landscaping, and treats these costs as a direct cost (direct materials) for a specific job. For each type of service provided, the company is able to track direct labor (the hours spent installing new lawns or maintaining lawns). Such labor costs are variable. When workers are unassigned, or traveling to jobs, their hours are recorded as indirect labor (an overhead cost). Fixed indirect costs include depreciation on tools and equipment, rent expense for trucks and heavy equipment, and salaries for lawn care supervisors. Variable indirect costs includes miscellaneous supplies, fuel for equipment, workers' equipment such as gloves and hats, For supporting its operations, the company has three service departments: landscape design, administration, and accounting & finance (billing customers, collecting accounts receivable, issuing purchase orders, and paying accounts payable).
