Hannibal Steel Company has a Transport Services Department that provides trucks to haul ore from the company's mine to its two steel mills--the Northern Plant and the Southern Plant. Budgeted costs for the Transport Services Department total $254,000 per year, consisting of $0.16 per ton variable cost and $204,000 fixed cost. The level of fixed cost is determined by peak-period requirements.

During the year, the Transport Services Department actually hauled 122,000 tons of ore to the Northern Plant and 68,700 tons to the Southern Plant. The Transport Services Department incurred $365,000 in cost during the year, of which $53,800 was variable cost and $311,200 was fixed cost. Required: 1.
