Question

The Sendai Co. Ltd of Japan has budgeted costs in its various departments as follows for the coming year:

Factory administration ¥270.000.000
Custodial services ¥68.760.000
Personnel ¥28.840.000
Maintenance ¥45.200.000
Machining - overhead ¥376.300.000
Assembly - overhead ¥175.900.000
Total cost ¥965.000.000

 

The Japanese currency is the yen, denoted by ¥. The company allocates service department costs to other departments in the order listed below.


Department Number of employees Total labour-hours Square feet of space occupied Direct labour-hours Machine-hours
Factory administration 12 - 5.000 - -
Custodial services 4 3.000 2.000 - -
Personnel 5 5.000 3.000 - -
Maintenance 25 22.000 10.000 - -
Machining 40 30.000 70.000 20.000 70.000
Assembly 60 90.000 20.000 80.000 10.000
Total 146 150.000 110.000 100.000 80.000

Machining and Assembly are operating departments; the other departments all act in a service capacity. The company does not make a distinction between fixed and variable service department costs. Factory Administration is allocated on the basis of total labour-hours; Custodial Services on the basis of square feet occupied; Personnel on the basis of number of employees; and Maintenance on the basis of machine-hours.

Required

  1. Allocate service department costs to departments using the step method. Then compute predetermined overhead rates in the operating departments using a machine-hours basis in Machining and a direct labour-hours basis in Assembly.

    OBS: I know there already is a soloution to this problem, but I need the calculations to be elaborated.
