Chapter 15, Problem 15.27P
Single-rate, dual-rate, and practical capacity allocation. Preston Department Store has a new promotional program that offers a free gift-wrapping service for its customers. Preston’s customer-service department has practical capacity to wrap 5,000 gifts at a budgeted fixed cost of $4,950 each month. The budgeted variable cost to gift-wrap an item is $0.35. During the most recent month, the department budgeted to wrap 4,500 gifts. Although the service is free to customers, a gift-wrapping service cost allocation is made to the department where the item was purchased. The customer-service department reported the following for the most recent month:
- 1. Using the single-rate method, allocate gift-wrapping costs to different departments in these three ways:
Required
- a. Calculate the budgeted rate based on the budgeted number of gifts to be wrapped and allocate costs based on the budgeted use (of gift-wrapping services).
- b. Calculate the budgeted rate based on the budgeted number of gifts to be wrapped and allocate costs based on actual usage.
- c. Calculate the budgeted rate based on the practical gift-wrapping capacity available and allocate costs based on actual usage.
- 2. Using the dual-rate method, compute the amount allocated to each department when (a) the fixed-cost rate is calculated using budgeted fixed costs and the practical gift-wrapping capacity, (b) fixed costs are allocated based on budgeted fixed costs and budgeted usage of gift-wrapping services, and (c) variable costs are allocated using the budgeted variable-cost rate and actual usage.
- 3. Comment on your results in requirements 1 and 2. Discuss the advantages of the dual-rate method.
