What is the amount of maintenance that would be allocated to the machining department, assuming Hampton uses the step-down method (starting with Supervision, then Maintenance) to allocate the costs of service departments?

A) $252,000
B) $378,000
C) $226,800
D) $240,000

The correct answer is $252,000.

The amount of Supervision’s costs allocated to Maintenance = $120,000 * 15% = $18,000. Maintenance department’s costs to be allocated now equal $378,000 ($360,000 + $18,000).

The amount of Maintenance’s costs allocated to machinery = $378,000 * (.6 / .9) = $252,000.

9. What is the amount of supervision that would be allocated to the machining department, assuming Hampton uses the direct-method to allocate the costs of service departments (round to the nearest dollar)?
A) 72,000
B) 80,000
C) 90,000
D) 84,705

The correct answer is $84,705.88.

$120,000 * (.6 / .85) = $84,705.88

10. Using the reciprocal method, how much of the Supervision Department’s costs would be allocated to the Assembly Department?
A) 39,594
B) 285,686
C) 51,000
D) 38,653
The correct answer is $39,593.91.

Supervision = 120,000 + .1*Maintenance
Maintenance = 360,000 + .15*Supervision

Supervision = 120,000 + [.1*(360,000 + .15*Supervision)]
Supervision = 120,000 + 36,000 +
