Calculate the total service department cost allocated to production department P1
Number of employees in department P1 = 150
Number of employees in department P2 = 225
Total employees in Department P1 and P2 = Number of employees in department P1 + Number of employees in department P2
= 150 + 225
= 375
S1 Department cost allocated to department P1 = S1 department cost x Number of employees in department P1/Total employees in Department P1 and P2
= 3,120,000 x 150/375
= $1,248,000
S2 Department cost allocated to department P1 = S2 department cost x Number of employees in department P1/Total employees in Department P1 and P2
= 2,060,000 x 150/375
= $824,000
S3 Department cost allocated to department P1 = S3 department cost x Number of employees in department P1/Total employees in Department P1 and P2
= 1,000,000 x 150/375
= $400,000
cost allocated to production department P1 | |
S1 | 1,248,000 |
S2 | 824,000 |
S3 | 400,000 |
Total service department cost allocated to production department P1 | $2,472,000 |
