Calculate the amount of travel department costs


Problem:

Chad Company has a domestic division and an international division and a travel department which supports the employees in both divisions. The fixed costs of the travel department ($405,000) are allocated based on the number of employees in each division. There are 210 employees in the domestic division and 70 employees in the international division. The variable costs of the travel department are allocated to the divisions based on the number of reservations made, at a rate of $15 per reservation.

If the domestic division requires 1,500 reservations and the international division requires 2,000 reservations, calculate the amount of travel department costs that will be allocated to each of the divisions.
