be applied when the step method of allocating service department costs is used?     The sequence of allocation among departments should be randomly selected.     The sequence of allocation among departments should proceed from the largest department as measured by total assets to the smallest.     The sequence of allocation among departments should proceed from the largest provider of interdepartmental services to the smallest.     All possible sequences of service department allocations should be computed. The sequence that provides the largest allocation of service costs should then be selected.

Overheads

In cost accounting, overhead refers to those expenses which occur during the operating of a business. Overhead includes the fixed, variable, or semi-variable which is not directly involved with a company product or service. It is very important to analyze overhead expense as it helps the company in determining how much a company must charge for its products and services so that they can generate profit.  Overhead expenses depend upon the nature of the business operations.
