(a) (b) Prepare an overhead analysis sheet, which clearly shows how the above costs would be apportioned to each department The canteen is a production-related cost because it is used to provide meals to the workforce. It is known as a service department. However, units being produced spend time only in the preparation and assembly departments. Therefore, to account for canteen costs they must be re-apportioned into the preparation and assembly departments (secondary apportionment). As a continuation of the overhead analysis sheet prepared in part (a), provide details of the reapportion of canteen costs into the preparation and assembly departments?

Which of the following statements is incorrect? O A. If MOH is overallocated to a job that has been sold, and the company calculates sales price by marking up job costs, the job will likely be underpriced. O B. The formula to arrive at the POHR is total budgeted manufacturing overhead divided by total estimated allocation base. O C. To calculate the increase to WIP for allocated MOH costs, the POHR is multiplied by the actual amount of the allocation based used by the cost object. D. "Number of units" is typically not an appropriate allocation base for MOH because the company's products do not consume equal overhead resources. If the over/underallocated MOH is fairly large and the majority of the units have not been sold, the balance in MOH should be prorated between WIP, FG, and COGS. O E.
Mirabile Corporation uses activity-based costing to compute product margins. Overhead costs have already been allocated to the company's three activity cost pools--Processing, Supervising, and Other.
