Charlies Wood Works produces wood products (e.g., cabinets, tables, picture frames, and so on). Production departments include Cutting and Assembly. The Janitorial and Security departments support the Cutting and Assembly departments. The Assembly Department spans about 46,400 square feet and holds assets valued at about 60,000. The Cutting Department spans about 33,600 square feet and holds assets valued at about 140,000. Charlies Wood Works allocates support department costs using the direct method.
