Saratoga Company manufactures jobs to customer specifications. The company is conducting a time-driven activity-based costing study in its Purchasing Department to better understand how Purchasing Department labor costs are consumed by individual jobs. To aid the study, the company provided the following data regarding its Purchasing Department and three of its many jobs:

Number of employees		9
Average salary per employee	$	28,000
Weeks of employment per year		52
Hours worked per week		40
Practical capacity percentage		85	%
	Requisition Processing			Bid Evaluation	Inspection
Minutes per unit of the activity	15			45	30
	Job X			Job Y	Job Z
Number of requisitions processed	10			7	6
Number of bid evaluations	2			1	3
Number of inspections	5			1	5

Now assume that Saratoga Company would like to answer the following what if question using its time-driven activity-based costing system: Assuming our estimated activity demands for all jobs in the next period will be as shown below, how will this affect our job costs and our staffing levels within the Purchasing Department?

	Requisition Processing	Bid Evaluation	Inspection
Activity demands for all jobs	7,100	8,650	10,500

Required:

3. Using the revised activity demands, calculate Saratogas unused capacity in minutes.

4. Using the revised activity demands, calculate Saratogas unused capacity in number of employees. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

5. Based on the revised activity demands, calculate the impact on expenses of matching capacity with demand
