Absorption costing

RRasad10y ago
A B C P Q Cost 3000$ 4000$ 2000$ 2500$ 2700$ % of P 20% 30% 25% ----- 25% % of Q 25% 25% 30% 20% ------- I want to know for which reason in example they calculate re apportionment of P department (% of P) firstly? not Q?. mention that P and Q ( service department) others production departments.

It does not matter which you re-apportion first - you will end up with the same answer. (and I do explain this in the free lectures on allocation, apportionment and absorption).
