Accounting

The Bellevue 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 5,148,200 copies:

Salaries (fixed) $94,300

Employee benefits (fixed) $12,600

Depreciation of copy machines (fixed) $10,200

Utilities (fixed) $5,300

Paper (variable, 1 cent per copy) 51,482

Toner (variable, 1 cent per copy) 51,482

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 4,948,200 copies were made during the year, 2,495,800 for sales and 2,452,400 for administration, calculate the copy department costs allocated to sales and administration.

Costs allocated to sales $________________

Costs allocated to administration $________________
