Answer to Problem 11B.1E

The overall spending variance of $19000 shows that the costs incurred in excess of the budget $0.25 per ton variable cost and budget $300,000 in fixed cost $19000 uncharged cost is the responsibility of the transport service department.

Explanation of Solution

Total variable costs charges by both the plants are $45,000 ($32,500 + $12,500) and fixed cost to both the plants are $300,000 ($210,000 + $90,000).

Total charges to both the plants are $345,000

  ($45,000(Variablecharge)+$300,000(fixedcharge))

The total actual cost incurred is $364,000

The remaining cost $19000 ( $64,000$345,000 )

The overall spending variance of $19000 shows that the costs incurred in excess of the budget $0.25 per ton variable cost and budget $300,000 in fixed cost $19000 uncharged cost is the responsibility of the transport service department.

Service Department Charges Hannibal Steel Company has a Transport Services Department that provides trucks to haul ore from the company’s mine to its two steel mills—the Northern Plant and the Southern Plant. Budgeted costs for the Transport Services Department total $350,000 per year, consisting of $0.25 per ton variable cost and $300,000 fixed cost. The level of fixed cost is determined by peak-period requirements. During the peak period, the Northern Plant requires 70% of the Transport Services Department’s capacity and the Southern Plant requires 30%. During the year, the Transport Services Department actually hauled the following amounts of ore for the two plants: Northern Plant, 130,000 tons; Southern Plant, 50,000 tons.
