Triton 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 5,000,000 copies:

Salaries (fixed)	$88,500
Employee benefits (fixed)	10,000
Depreciation of copy machines (fixed)	10,000
Utilities (fixed)	5,000
Paper (variable, 1 cent per copy)	50,000
Toner (variable, 1 cent per copy)	50,000

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 the following copies were made during the year, 2,868,250 for sales and 2,640,000 for administration, calculate the copy department costs allocated to sales

Answer:

Add Fixed Costs to Total Fixed Costs Salary + Benefits + Depreciation + Utilities = Total Fixed Costs Total Fixed Costs * 40% Variable Costs total copies - administrative copies = sales copies Sales Copies X .02 = Sales Variable Costs Sales Fixed Costs + Sales Variable Costs = Copy Department Costs allocated to Sales

Consider the production cost information for Mama Italiano Sauce given below:

Mama Italian Sauce
Production Cost Budget
April 2008
Production - Jars of sauce	20,000
Ingredient cost (variable)	$16,000
Labor cost (variable)	9,000
Rent (fixed)	4,000
Depreciation (fixed)	6,000
Other (fixed)	1,000
Total	$36,000

The company is currently producing and selling 250,000 jars of sauce annually. The jars of sauce sell for $4 per jar. The company is considering lowering the price to $3.70 per jar. Suppose this action will increase sales to 300,000 jars of sauce. What is the incremental costs associated with producing an extra 58,250 jars of sauce?

Answer:

Hide Feedback
(Variable Ingredient Cost + Variable Labor Cost) / Production Amount in April = incremental cost /jar incremental cost / jar * extra jars being produced = incremental costs for producing the additional amounts of sauce jars
