The Speedjet Aircraft Corporation has a central materials laboratory.The laboratory has only two users,the Large Plane Department and the Small Plane Department.The following data apply to the coming budget year:
Budgeted costs of operating the materials laboratory
For 100,000 to 200,000 technician hours per year:

Budgeted long-run usage in hours per year:

Budgeted amounts are used to calculate the allocation rates.
Actual usage for the year by the Large Plane Department was 60,000 technician hours and by the Small Plane Department was 80,000 technician hours.If a single-rate cost-allocation method is used,what amount of materials laboratory costs will be allocated to the Large Plane Department? Assume actual usage is used to allocate laboratory costs.
