Answer:

Printing $19,700

Developing $26,800

Explanation:

Calculation to allocate these service department costs to the operating departments Using the direct method

Particulars Allocation Basis Maintenance Personnel Printing Developing

Cost as per primary data

$4,000 $14,000 $15,900 $12,600

SERVICE DEPARTMENT COSTS:

Maintenance allocation (S)

$0 $0 $1,000 $3,000

Personnel allocation (S)

$0 $0 $2,800 $11,200

Total Costs Allocated

$0 $0 $19,700 $26,800

Computation for the allocation of costs:

Maintenance = $4,000 *1,800/(1,800+5,400)

Maintenance = $4,000 *1,800/7,200

Maintenance =$1,000

Personnel = $14,000 *650/650+2,600

Personnel=$14,000 *650/3,250

Personnel=$2,800

Maintenance = $4,000 *5,400/(1,800+5,400)

Maintenance = $4,000 *5,400/7,200

Maintenance = $3,000

Personnel = $14,000 *2,600/650+2,600

Personnel = $14,000 *2,600/3,250

Personnel = $11,200

Therefore allocation of these service department costs to the operating departments Using the direct method will be :

Maintenance $0

Personnel $0

Printing $19,700

Developing $26,800
