    Hello sir,

    A manufacturing co runs two production centres C1 and C2 and two service cost centres S1 and S2.The total allocated and apportioned overheads for each is as follows ;
    C1 $12000
    C2 $17000
    S1$9500
    S2 $8000

    It has been estimated that each service cost centre does work for other cost centres in the following proportions:)

    Percentage of service cost centre S1 to :
    C1 60%
    C2 40%
    S1 –
    S2-

    Percentage of service cost centre S2 to :
    C1 35%
    C2 35%
    S1 30%
    S2-

    After the reapportionment of service cost centre costs have been carried out ,what is the total overhead for production cost centre C1?

    Answer:21940

    Could you please help me with the solution

    Thank you

    You do it in exactly the same way as I show in my lectures on the allocation and apportionment of overheads.

    Reallocate S2 first. Then take the new total of S1 and reallocate that.

    The total overhead is then the $12,000 already allocated plus the amounts reallocated from S1 and S2.
