- Support department cost allocation Hooligan Adventure Supply produces and sells various outdoor equipment. The Molding and Assembly production departments are supported by the Personnel and Maintenance departments. Personnel costs are allocated to the production departments based on the number of employees, and Maintenance costs are allocated based on number of service calls.
