Question
Direct Method of Support Department Cost Allocation
Stevenson Company is divided into two operating divisions: Battery and Small Motors. The company allocates power and general factory costs to each operating division using the direct method. Power costs are allocated on the basis of the number of machine hours and general factory costs on the basis of square footage. Support department cost allocations using the direct method are based on the following data:
