157. Some support departments typically found in manufacturing and nonmanufacturing organizations are as
follows:
Cafeteria
Personnel
Maintenance
Purchasing
Accounting
Required:
For each of the preceding support departments, indicate potential bases that could be used to allocate costs to
the producing departments.
158. Describe the differences between support and producing departments. Give three examples of each.
159. Consequence Printing operates a Graphics business at two different locations. Consequence Printing has
one support department that is responsible for cleaning, service, and maintenance of its printing equipment. The
costs of the support department are allocated to each Graphics Center on the basis of total prints made.
During the first month, the costs of the support department were expected to be $100,000. Of this amount,
$30,000 is considered a fixed cost. During the month, the support department incurred actual variable costs of
$64,000 and actual fixed costs of $36,000.
Normal and actual activity (prints made) are as follows:
Graphics Center 1
Graphics Center 2
Normal activity (graphics)
3,000,000
2,000,000
Actual activity (graphics)
2,500,000
2,200,000
Required:
a.
For purposes of performance evaluation, calculate the fixed costs allocated to
Graphics Center 1.
b.
For purposes of performance evaluation, calculate the fixed costs allocated to
Graphics Center 2.
c.
Calculate the support department costs not allocated to the two Graphics Centers.
$30,000 ´ (3,000,000/5,000,000) = $18,000
$30,000 ´ (2,000,000/5,000,000) = $12,000
c.
Fixed overhead not allocated to copy centers:
($36,000 – $30,000)
$6,000
Variable costs not allocated:
$70,000/(3,000,000 + 2,000,000) = $0.014
