6) The Hudson Block Company has a trucking department that delivers crushed stone
from the company’s quarry to its two cement block production facilities–the West Plant
and the East Plant. Budgeted costs for the trucking department are $340,000 per year in
fixed costs and $0.30 per ton variable cost. Last year, 70,000 tons of crushed stone were
budgeted to be delivered to the West Plant and 100,000 tons of crushed stone to the East
Plant. During the year, the trucking department actually delivered 75,000 tons of
crushed stone to the West Plant and 90,000 tons to the East Plant. Its actual costs for the
year were $65,000 variable and $350,000 fixed. The level of budgeted fixed costs is
determined by peak-period requirements. The West Plant requires 40% of the
peak-period capacity and the East Plant requires 60%. The company allocates fixed and
variable costs separately.
For performance evaluation purposes, how much of the actual trucking department cost
should not be charged to the plants at the end of the year?
A.$10,000
B.$25,500
C.$0
D.$15,700
