Melting Molding
Indirect Cost Allocation: Direct Method
Sprint Manufacturing Company has two production departments, Melting and Molding. Direct general plant management and plant security costs benefit both production departments. Sprint allocates general plant management costs on the basis of the number of production employees and plant security costs on the basis of space occupied by the production departments. In November, the following overhead costs were recorded:
|
Melting Department overhead |
$110,000 |
|
Molding Department overhead |
400,000 |
|
General plant management |
100,000 |
|
Plant security |
50,000 |
