Hi
I need help with reallocation. There is a question on page 7 F5 Study text (more cost apportionment). I am not sure how they came up with the reallocation figures i.e $7600, $5890, $1970, $(33520) and also the mach usage reallocation figures.
ThanksMarch 10, 2012 at 2:47 pm #95238Which Study Text are you using?
March 13, 2012 at 4:43 pm #95239bpp exams in 2011
March 16, 2012 at 1:52 pm #95240I am sorry but I do not have the 2011 BPP Study Text 🙁
If you can write more from the question then I will try to help.

the answer is there too but just don’t know how to get to the reallocation figures.March 24, 2012 at 12:02 am #95242I think it is the same question in the 2012 book too on the same page.
March 24, 2012 at 7:22 am #95243They have reallocated canteen on the basis of labour hours (as it says in their answer).
So….in total there are 35,000 layout hours. 8,000 hours are in department A and so they have taken the fraction 8/35 * 33250 = 7600. (same idea for B and for assembly)For maintenance they have reapportioned on the basis of machine hours (as it says in their answer)
So…..department A works 7,200 hours out of a total of 25,200 hours. Therefore they have apportioned 7200/25200 of the total maintenance cost to A.
