Service Department Charges

In divisional income statements prepared for Demopolis Company, the Payroll Department costs are charged back to user divisions on the basis of the number of payroll distributions, and the Purchasing Department costs are charged back on the basis of the number of purchase requisitions. The Payroll Department had expenses of $45,336, and the Purchasing Department had expenses of $23,320 for the year. The following annual data for Residential, Commercial, and Government Contract divisions were obtained from corporate records:

	Residential	Commercial	Government Contract

Number of employees:
	Weekly payroll (52 weeks per year)	140		60		65
	Monthly payroll	34		45		32

	requisitions per year	2,200		1,600		1,500
