Budgeted costs $320,000 $80,000 $160,000 $240,000 Budgeted maintenance-hours NA 1,000 600 400 Number of employees 40 NA 160 480 Using the direct method, what amount of Maintenance Department and Personal Department costs will be allocated to Department A and B

a-1. Maintenance Department Cost allocated to production department A = $192,000

a-2. Maintenance Department Cost allocated to production department B = $128,000

b-2. Personnel Department Cost allocated to production department B = $60,000

Explanation:

Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question. See the attached pdf file for the complete question.

The explanation of the answers is now given as follows:

Direct method is a method of cost allocation in which support departments costs are charged directly to the production departments without charging to the other support department.

Based on the above definition, we therefore have:

a. Allocation of Maintenance Department Cost

Total budgeted maintenance-hours of production departments A and B = Budgeted maintenance-hours of production department A + Budgeted maintenance-hours of production department B = 600 + 400 = 1,000

a-1. Maintenance Department Cost allocated to production department A = Maintenance Department Cost * (Budgeted maintenance-hours of production department A / Total budgeted maintenance-hours of production departments A and B) = $320,000 * (600 / 1,000) = $192,000

a-2. Maintenance Department Cost allocated to production department B = Maintenance Department Cost * (Budgeted maintenance-hours of production department B / Total budgeted maintenance-hours of production departments A and B) = $320,000 * (400 / 1,000) = $128,000

b. Allocation of Personnel Department Cost

Total number of employees of production departments A and B = Number of employees of production departments A + Number of employees of production departments B = 160 + 480 = 640

b-1. Personnel Department Cost allocated to production department A = Personnel Department Cost * (Number of employees of production department A / Total Number of employees of production departments A and B) = $80,000 * (160 / 640) = $20,000

b-2. Personnel Department Cost allocated to production department B = Personnel Department Cost * (Number of employees of production department B / Total Number of employees of production departments A and B) = $80,000 * (480 / 640) = $60,000

the answer is: c.that person might be arrested and deported

filling w-4 form incorrectly usually would rise suspicions from government's auditors. when they notice such mistakes, they would send their teams to investigate the situation further.

if those investigation teams believe that the incorrectness is done on purpose (with malicious intent), that person can be arrested or deported

answer: a. the kind of population living in your neighbourhood.

the census explorer data tool by the us census bureau allows the user to zoom in on any neighbourhood within the united states and find the kind of people residing in that by race and age.  

the tool needs to needs to be used twice – once in order to find what type of people reside in a neighbourhood, and then to see the age groups of the people in the same neighbourhood.
