In: Accounting
1.Caro Manufacturing has two production departments, Machining and Assembly, and two service departments, Maintenance and Cafeteria. Direct costs for each department and the proportion of service costs used by the various departments for the month of August follow:
Proportion of Services Used by | |||||||||||
Department | Direct Costs | Maintenance | Cafeteria | Machining | Assembly | ||||||
Machining | $ | 95,000 | |||||||||
Assembly | 68,400 | ||||||||||
Maintenance | 42,400 | — | 0.2 | 0.6 | 0.2 | ||||||
Cafeteria | 34,000 | 0.8 | — | 0.1 | 0.1 | ||||||
Compute the allocation of service department costs to producing departments using the direct method
Machine
Assembly
2. Assume that both Machining and Assembly work on just two jobs during the month of August: CM-22 and CM-23. Costs are allocated to jobs based on machine-hours in Machining and labor-hours in Assembly. The number of labor- and machine-hours worked in each department are as follows:
Machining | Assembly | ||||
Job CM-22: | Machine-hours | 280 | 50 | ||
Labor-hours | 60 | 40 | |||
Job CM-23: | Machine-hours | 20 | 20 | ||
Labor-hours | 30 | 310 | |||
Required:
How much of the service department costs allocated to Machining and
Assembly in the direct method should be allocated to Job CM-22? How
much should be allocated to Job CM-23?
