THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION APPLIES TO QUESTIONS 27 THROUGH 30.

The Bonawitz Corporation has a central copying facility. The copying facility has only two
users, the Marketing Department and the Operations Department. The following data apply to
the coming budget year.

Budgeted costs of operating the copying facility


for 200,000 to 300,000 copies:
Fixed costs per year $30,000
Variable costs 3 cents (.03) per copy
Budgeted long-run usage in copies per year:
Marketing Department 60,000 copies
Operations Department 190,000 copies

Budgeted amounts are used to calculate the allocation rates.

Actual usage for the year by the Marketing Department was 40,000 copies and by the
Operations Department was 180,000 copies.

27. If a single-rate cost-allocation method is used, what amount of copying facility costs will
be budgeted for the Marketing Department?
a. $9,000
b. $1,800
c. $7,200
d. $8,400

Answer: a
[(60,000/250,000) x $30,000] + (60,000 x $0.03) = $9,000

28. If a single-rate cost-allocation method is used, what amount of copying facility costs will
be allocated to the Marketing Department? Assume actual usage is used to allocate copying
costs.
a. $8,400
b. $9,000
c. $6,000
d. $4,800

Answer: c
[(60,000/250,000) x $30,000] + (60,000 x $0.03) = $9,000
$9,000/60,000 copies = $0.15 per copy x 40,000 = $6,000
