1. Logo Inc. has two data services departments (Systems and Facilities) that provide support to the company's three production departments (Machining, Assembly, and Finishing). The overhead costs of the Systems Department are allocated to other departments on the basis of computer usage hours. The overhead costs of the Facilities Department are allocated based on square feet occupied (in thousands). Other information pertaining to Logo is as follows. Department Overhead Computer Usage Hours Square Feet Occupied Systems Facilities $200,000 300 1,000 100,000 900 600 Machining Assembly Finishing Totals 400,000 3,600 2,000 550,000 1,800 3,000 620,000 2,700 5,000 9,300 11,600

The cost behavior patterns below are lettered A through H. The vertical axes of the graphs represent total dollars of expense, and the horizontal axes represent production in units, machine hours, or direct labor hours. In each case, the zero point is at the intersection of the two axes. Each graph may be used no more than once. Required: Select the graph that matches the lettered cost described here. a. Depreciation of equipmentthe amount of depreciation charged is computed based on the number of machine hours that the equipment was operated. b. Electricity billflat fixed charge, plus a variable cost after a certain number of kilowatt hours are used. c. City water billcomputed as follows: d. Depreciation of equipmentthe amount is computed by the straight-line method. e. Rent on a factory building donated by the citythe agreement calls for a fixed fee payment, unless 200,000 labor hours are worked, in which case no rent need be paid. f. Salaries of repair workersone repair worker is needed for every 1,000 machine hours or less (i.e., 0 to 1,000 hours requires one repair worker, 1,001 to 2,000 hours requires two repair workers, etc.).
