3. If the purpose is to cost out individual services, then the allocation is identi-
cal to that given in Requirement 1.
If the purpose is for performance evaluation, then variable costs equal the
predetermined rate multiplied by the actual usage. The fixed costs are allo-
cated the same way as before.

Variable costs:
$65 × 2,580 ………………. $167,700
4. The allocated costs of $431,700 were $3,700 lower than the actual costs of
$435,400, because the producing departments are charged an allocation
