4 Memorial Services, Incorporated (MSI) has three service departments (IT, Accounting, and HR) and two production departments (West and East). The usage data for each of the service departments for the previous period follow: IT Accounting HR IT -- Service department costs IT allocation Accounting allocation HR allocation Total costs allocated 0% 10% Accounting HR 0% 20% 0% -- 10% $ -- The direct costs of the service departments in the previous period were $91,000 for IT, $116,000 for Accounting, and $155,000 for HR. IT West 40% 40% 60% Required: Use the direct method to allocate the service department costs to the production departments. Note: Amounts to be deducted should be indicated by a minus sign.

Refer to Cornerstone Exercise 7.3. Now assume that Valron Company uses the sequential method to allocate support department costs. The support departments are ranked in order of highest cost to lowest cost. Required: 1. Calculate the allocation ratios (rounded to four significant digits) for the four departments using the sequential method. 2. Using the sequential method, allocate the costs of the Human Resources and General Factory departments to the Fabricating and Assembly departments. (Round all allocated costs to the nearest dollar.) 3. What if the allocation ratios in Requirement 1 were rounded to six significant digits rather than four? How would that affect any rounding error in the allocation of costs?
Refer to the data in Exercise 7.18. When the capacity of the HR Department was originally established, the normal usage expected for each department was 20,000 direct labor hours. This usage is also the amount of activity planned for the two departments in Year 1 and Year 2. Required: 1. Allocate the costs of the HR Department using the direct method and assuming that the purpose is product costing. 2. Allocate the costs of the HR Department using the direct method and assuming that the purpose is to evaluate performance.
Refer to the data in Exercise 7.20. The company has decided to use the sequential method of allocation instead of the direct method. The support departments are ranked in order of highest cost to lowest cost. Required: 1. Allocate the overhead costs to the producing departments using the sequential method. (Take allocation ratios out to four significant digits. Round allocated costs to the nearest dollar.) 2. Using machine hours, compute departmental overhead rates. (Round the overhead rates to the nearest cent.)
Refer to Cornerstone Exercise 7.3. Now assume that Valron Company uses the reciprocal method to allocate support department costs. Required: 1. Calculate the allocation ratios (rounded to four significant digits) for the four departments using the reciprocal method. 2. Develop a simultaneous equations system of total costs for the support departments. Solve for the total reciprocated costs of each support department. (Round reciprocated total costs to the nearest dollar.) 3. Using the reciprocal method, allocate the costs of the Human Resources and General Factory departments to the Fabricating and Assembly departments. (Round all allocated costs to the nearest dollar.) 4. What if the square footage in Fabricating were 13,300 and the square footage in Assembly were 5,700. How would that affect the allocation of support department costs?
Medical Tape makes two products: Generic and Label. It estimates it will produce 423,694 units of Generic and 652,200 of Label, and the overhead for each of its cost pools is as follows: It has also estimated the activities for each cost driver as follows: How much is the overhead allocated to each unit of Generic and Label?

Snowflake Company has two service departments (S1 and S2) and two producing departments (P1 and P2). Department S1 costs are allocated on the basis of number of employees, and Department S2 costs are allocated on the basis of space occupied expressed in square feet. Data on direct department costs, number of employees, and space occupied are as follows: Direct dept. costs Number of employees Space occupied P1 P2 0 S1 S2 P1 $15,000 $22,000 $55,000 0 10 2,000 If Snowflake uses the direct method, what is the ratio representing the portion of Department S2 allocated to P2? 25 5 1,000 3,000 P2 $60,000 30 7,000
