Question: *PLEASE SEE THE ATTACHED IMAGE The order and bases for allocating service department costs is given below: SD1; allocation base is number of employees SD2;
*PLEASE SEE THE ATTACHED IMAGE
The order and bases for allocating service department costs is given below:
SD1; allocation base is number of employees
SD2; Allocation base is space occupied
SD3; Allocation base is hours of press time.
Assume that PD1 and PD2 both use direct labor hours for computing OH rate.
- Using the Direct method of allocation, how much OH rate must be assigned to PD1?
- Using the Step Method of allocation, how much OH rate must be assigned to PD2?
- Using the Step Method, how much is the cost of SD3 to be allocated to SD2?
- Using the Step Method, how much is the total OH cost of PD1 after allocation?
