Compute the total budgeted cost for each department


Question - Ace Production Co. has two production departments, Fabricating and Assembling. At a department managers' meeting, the controller uses flexible budget graphs to explain total budgeted costs. Separate graphs based on direct labor hours are used for each department. The graphs show the following:

1. At zero direct labor hours, the total budgeted cost line and the fixed cost line intersect the vertical axis at $100,000 in the Fabricating Department, and $80,000 in the Assembling Department.

2. At normal capacity of 100,000 direct labor hours, the line drawn from the total budgeted cost line intersects the vertical axis at $360,000 in the Fabricating Department, and $290,000 in the Assembling Department.

Compute the total budgeted cost for each department, assuming actual direct labor hours worked were 106,000 and 94,000, in the Fabricating and Assembling Departments, respectively.
