The following information is departmental cost allocation with two service departments and two production departments.

Explanation / Answer

service department cost allocated to P1 and P2 ( Direct method)

Total cost in P1 and in P2 after allocation

Amount of service department cost allocated to P1 and P2 ( Step method)

P1 = 26900 and P2 = 59100 are the final answers

In column - 3 we start with - 48000 for S1 and allocate it to S2, P1 and P2 in the ratio of 25:30:45 ( values in same coulmn)

In column - 4 ( named as S2) we have 38000 + 12000 = 50000 cost for S2. we start this 4th column with - 50000 and allocate it to P1 and P2 in the ratio of 20:60

In column - 5 we have totals for P1 and P2 being the service department OH allocated to them.

Calculation P1 P2 S1 48000 * 30/75 & 48000 * 45/75 19200 28800 S2 38000*20/80 & 38000 * 60/80 9500 28500 28700 57300
