Apex Company's copy department, which does almost all of the photocopying for the sales department and the administrative department, budgets the following costs for the year, based on the expected activity of 4,977,300 copies:
|
Salaries (fixed)
|
|
$105,600
|
|
|
Employee benefits (fixed)
|
|
12,200
|
|
|
Depreciation of copy machines (fixed)
|
|
12,400
|
|
|
Utilities (fixed)
|
|
5,500
|
|
|
Paper (variable, 1 cent per copy)
|
|
49,773
|
|
|
Toner (variable, 1 cent per copy)
|
|
49,773
|
|
The costs are assigned to two cost pools, one for fixed and one for variable costs. The costs are then assigned to the sales department and the administrative department. Fixed costs are assigned on a lump-sum basis, 40 percent to sales and 60 percent to administration. The variable costs are assigned at a rate of 2 cents per copy.
Assuming 4,777,300 copies were made during the year, 2,494,400 for sales and 2,282,900 for administration, calculate the copy department costs allocated to sales and administration.
