Determine the copy department costs allocated to sales


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 5,014,700 copies:

Salaries (fixed)
$109,600
Employee benefits (fixed)
12,600
Depreciation of copy machines (fixed)
12,900
Utilities (fixed)
5,700
Paper (variable, 1 cent per copy)
50,147
Toner (variable, 1 cent per copy)
50,147

 

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 4,814,700 copies were made during the year, 2,499,600 for sales and 2,315,100 for administration, calculate the copy department costs allocated to sales and administration.
