    Hello

    Could you please help me with that question:

    A company has 2 production centres and two service centres. Overheads allocation and apportionment is a follows for a period:
    PC1. PC2. SC1. SC2
    Overheads. $460,200. $520,800. $122,000. $96,600
    Reapportionment of SC1. 35%. 45%. 20%
    Reapportionment of SC2. 30%. 70%

    What are the total overheads in PC2 after reappointment of the service costs enter overheads?

    Thank you in advance

    There must be an answer to this question in the same book that you found the question. Kindly refer to that answer and then ask whatever is in the answer that you don’t understand.

    20% from sc1 to sc2= 122000×20%=24400
    So sc2 = 96600+24400=121000

    35% from sc1 to pc1 (122000×35%=42700) and 30% from sc2 to pc1 (121000×30%=36300)

    45% from sc1 to pc2 (122000×45%=54900) and 70% from sc2 to pc2 (121000×70%=84700)

    So pc2= 54900+84700=139600

    So pc2= 54900+84700=139600

    The question asks for Total overheads of PC2 after reapportionment. Shouldn’t the answer be this one:

    $520,800+$122,000*45%+$121,000*70% = $660,400

    True, I forgot to add 520800
    It should’ve been 520800+ 54900+84700=660400 thank you! ?
