Question
Veneer Company has two service departments and two producing departments. The number of employees in each department is:Personnel 10Cafeteria 25Producing Department A 456Producing Department B 249 740The department costs of the Personnel Department are allocated on a basis of the number of employees. If these costs are budgeted at 25,896.00.0.$27,181.62.
Solution
To calculate the cost allocated to Department B under the direct method, we first need to determine the proportion of employees in Department B relative to the total number of employees in the producing departments.
The total number of employees in the producing departments (Department A + Department B) is 456 + 249 = 705 employees.
The proportion of employees in Department B is therefore 249 / 705 = 0.353191489.
Next, we multiply this proportion by the total costs of the Personnel Department to find the cost allocated to Department B.
So, 27,181.62.
Therefore, the amount of cost allocated to Department B under the direct method would be $27,181.62.
