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 copies: Salaries (fixed) $80,750 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, 2,929,000 for sales
and 2,919,000 for administration, calculate the copy department
costs allocated to sales. Round to two decimal places.
