Explanation / Answer

a.)

Budgeted indirect costs / Budgeted trips =$94,500/45= $2,100


Trucking fleet costs allocated to: Dark Chocolate Div Milk Chocolate Div Total


Budgeted rate per round-trip $2,100 $2,100 $2,100


Budgeted round-trips 30 15 45


$63,000 $31,500 $94,500


b.)

Budgeted indirect costs / Budgeted trips =$94,500/45= $2,100


Trucking fleet costs allocated to: Dark Chocolate Div Milk Chocolate Div Total


Budgeted rate per round-trip $2,100 $2,100 $2,100


Actual round-trips 30 10 40


$63,000 $21,000 $84,000

c.)

Actual indirect costs / Actual trips =$76,000/40= $1,900


Trucking fleet costs allocated to: Dark Chocolate Div Milk Chocolate Div Total


Actual rate per round-trip $1,900   $1,900 $1,900


Actual round-trips 30 10 40


$57,000 $19,000 $76,000
