The total actual cost incurred is $364,000

The remaining cost $19000 ( $64,000$345,000 )

The overall spending variance of $19000 shows that the costs incurred in excess of the budget $0.25 per ton variable cost and budget $300,000 in fixed cost $19000 uncharged cost is the responsibility of the transport service department.
