(Appendix 4B) Sequential Method of Support Department Cost Allocation Refer to Exercise 4-51 for data. Now assume that Stevenson uses the sequential method to allocate support department costs to the operating divisions. General Factory is allocated first in the sequential method for the company. Required: 1. Calculate the allocation ratios for Power and General Factory. (Note: Carry these calculations out to four decimal places.) 2. Allocate the support service costs to the operating divisions. (Note: Round all amounts to the nearest dollar.) 3. Assume divisional overhead rates are based on direct labor hours. Calculate the overhead rate for the Battery Division and for the Small Motors Division. (Note: Round overhead rates to the nearest cent.)
Refer to the data in Exercise 7.22. The support departments are ranked in order of highest cost to lowest cost. Required: 1. Allocate the costs of the support departments using the sequential method. (Round allocation ratios to four significant digits. Round allocated costs to the nearest dollar.) 2. Using direct labor hours, compute departmental overhead rates. (Round to the nearest cent.)
Refer to Cornerstone Exercise 7.3. Now assume that Valron Company uses the sequential method to allocate support department costs. The support departments are ranked in order of highest cost to lowest cost. Required: 1. Calculate the allocation ratios (rounded to four significant digits) for the four departments using the sequential method. 2. Using the sequential method, allocate the costs of the Human Resources and General Factory departments to the Fabricating and Assembly departments. (Round all allocated costs to the nearest dollar.) 3. What if the allocation ratios in Requirement 1 were rounded to six significant digits rather than four? How would that affect any rounding error in the allocation of costs?
A manufacturing company has two service and two production departments. Human Resources and Machine Repair are the service departments. The production departments are Grinding and Polishing. The following data have been estimated for next years operations: The direct charges identified with each of the departments are as follows: The human resources department services all departments of the company, and its costs are allocated using the numbers of employees within each department, while machine repair costs are allocable to Grinding and Polishing on the basis of machine hours. 1. Distribute the service department costs, using the direct method. 2. Distribute the service department costs, using the sequential distribution method, with the department servicing the greatest number of other departments distributed first.
Logo Inc. has two data services departments (Systems and Facilities) that provide support to the companys three production departments (Machining, Assembly, and Finishing). The overhead costs of the Systems Department are allocated to other departments on the basis of computer usage hours. The overhead costs of the Facilities Department are allocated based on square feet occupied (in thousands). Other information pertaining to Logo is as follows. If Logo employs the direct method of allocating service department costs, the overhead of the Systems Department would be allocated by dividing the overhead amount by: a. 1,200 hours. b. 8,100 hours. c. 9,000 hours. d. 9,300 hours.
Refer to the data in Exercise 7.18. When the capacity of the HR Department was originally established, the normal usage expected for each department was 20,000 direct labor hours. This usage is also the amount of activity planned for the two departments in Year 1 and Year 2. Required: 1. Allocate the costs of the HR Department using the direct method and assuming that the purpose is product costing. 2. Allocate the costs of the HR Department using the direct method and assuming that the purpose is to evaluate performance.
Distribution of service department costs to production departments using the sequential distribution method Required: Using the information in P4-6, prepare a schedule showing the distribution of the service departments’ expenses using the sequential distribution method in the order of number of other departments served. (Hint: First distribute the service department that services the greater number of other departments.)
