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 $211,700 per year, consisting of $0.16 per ton variable cost and $161,700 fixed cost. The level of fixed cost is determined by peak-period requirements. During the peak period, the Northern Plant requires 68% of the Transport Services Department's capacity and the Southern Plant requires 32%. During the year, the Transport Services Department actually hauled 128,000 tons of ore to the Northern Plant and 63,500 tons to the Southern Plant. The Transport Services Department incurred $364,000 in cost during the year, of which $52,300 was variable cost and $311,700 was fixed cost. Required: 1. How much of the Transport Services Department's variable costs should be charged to each plant? 2. How much of the $311,700 in fixed cost should be charged to each plant? 3. Should any of the Transport Services Department's actual total cost of $364,000 be treated as a spending variance and not charged to the plants
