Question
Korvanis Corporation operates a Medical Services Department for its employees. Charges to the company’s operating departments for the variable costs of the Medical Services Department are based on the actual number of employees in each department. Charges for the fixed costs of the Medical Services Department are based on the long-run average number of employees in each operating department.
Variable Medical Services Department costs are budgeted at $58 per employee. Fixed Medical Services Department costs are budgeted at $683,200 per year. Actual Medical Services Department costs for the most recent year were $105,800 for variable costs and $689,000 for fixed costs. Data concerning employees in the three operating departments follow:
| Cutting | Milling | Assembly | |
| Budgeted number of employees | 604 | 287 | 918 |
| Actual number of employees for the most recent year | 504 | 387 | 818 |
| Long-run average number of employees | 720 | 480 | 1,200 |
Required:
1. Determine the Medical Services Department charges for the year to each of the operating departments—Cutting, Milling, and Assembly.
2. How much, if any, of the actual Medical Services Department costs for the year should be treated as a spending variance and not charged to the operating departments?
