    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.
    Thanks

    I think it is the same question in the 2012 book too on the same page.

    They 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.
