Tech Support Department $824,100
Accounts Payable Department 314,000
Other corporate administrative expenses 489,000
Total corporate expense $1,627,100

The other corporate administrative expenses include officers' salaries and other expenses required by the corporation. The Tech Support Department charges the divisions for services rendered, based on the number of computers in the department, and the Accounts Payable Department charges divisions for services, based on the number of checks issued. The usage of service by the two divisions is as follows:


  Tech Support Accounts Payable
Wholesale Division 410 computers 5,500 checks
Retail Division 260   10,200  
Total 670 computers 15,700 checks

The service department charges of the Tech Support Department and the Accounts Payable Department are considered controllable by the divisions.
