Chapter 15, Problem 15.18E
Dual-rate method, budgeted versus actual costs and quantities (continuation of 15-17).
Chocolat Inc. decides to examine the effect of using the dual-rate method for allocating truck costs to each round-trip. At the start of 2017, the budgeted costs were:
| Variable cost per round-trip | $ 1,350 |
| Fixed costs | $47,500 |
The actual results for the 45 round-trips made in 2017 were:
| Variable costs | $58,500 |
| Fixed costs | 38,250 |
| $96,750 |
Assume all other information to be the same as in Exercise 15-17.
