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 $48,024, and the Purchasing Department had expenses of $22,000 for the year. The following annual data for Residential, Commercial, and Government Contract divisions were obtained from corporate records:
| Line Item Description | Residential | Commercial | Government Contract |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sales | $460,000 | $609,000 | $1,399,000 |
| Number of employees: | |||
| Weekly payroll (52 weeks per year) | 110 | 85 | 90 |
| Monthly payroll | 30 | 41 | 28 |
| Number of purchase requisitions per year | 2,100 | 1,500 | 1,400 |
Required:
a. Determine the total amount of payroll checks and purchase requisitions processed per year by the company and each division.
| Line Item Description | Residential | Commercial | Government Contract | Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Number of payroll checks: | ||||
| Weekly payroll × 52 | fill in the blank 1 | fill in the blank 2 | fill in the blank 3 | |
| Monthly payroll × 12 | fill in the blank 4 | fill in the blank 5 | fill in the blank 6 | |
| Total | fill in the blank 7 | fill in the blank 8 | fill in the blank 9 | fill in the blank 10 |
| Number of purchase requisitions per year | fill in the blank 11 | fill in the blank 12 | fill in the blank 13 | fill in the blank 14 |
b. Using the cost driver information in (a), determine the annual amount of payroll and purchasing costs allocated to the Residential, Commercial, and Government Contract divisions from payroll and purchasing services. Do not round interim calculations. Round your answers to two decimal places.
Support department allocation rates:
| Department | Allocation Rate |
|---|---|
| Payroll Department | $fill in the blank 15 per distribution |
| Purchasing Department | $fill in the blank 16 per requisition |
| Department | Residential | Commercial | Government Contract | Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Support department allocations: | ||||
| Payroll Department | $fill in the blank 17 | $fill in the blank 18 | $fill in the blank 19 | $fill in the blank 20 |
| Purchasing Department | fill in the blank 21 | fill in the blank 22 | fill in the blank 23 | fill in the blank 24 |
| Total | $fill in the blank 25 | $fill in the blank 26 | $fill in the blank 27 |
c. Residential's support department allocations are fill in the blank 1 of 3
than the other two divisions because Residential is a fill in the blank 2 of 3
user of support department services. Residential has many employees on a weekly payroll, which translates into a fill in the blank 3 of 3
number of payroll transactions.
