Write 1 page with APA style on Allocation of Costs. May 25, Allocation of_Costs A: Activity_based costing Table shows (appendix section) the allocation of the maintenance_department labor_cost using the activity_based cost (Epstein, 2011). By multiplying the labor_hours by the labor_cost per_hour, the total labor_cost is generated. For the maintenance aspect, the total labor_cost is $120,000. For the repair activities, the total labor_cost is $72,000. The total labor_cost of the entire company is $192,000.00.

Allocation of Maintenance Supplies Cost
Table 2 (appendix section) shows the financial allocation of the maintenance_department’s supply cost_allocation. The allocation is grounded on the actual supplies that were used each department. For the pharmacy, the allocation is arrived at using the formula: (200/80,000) x $100,000. The other departments’ share of the $100,000 maintenance supply_costs is: $ 79,800/80,000) x $ 100,000 (Finkler et al., 2013).
Allocation of Maintenance Administration Cost
Table 3 (Appendix section) shows the allocation of the maintenance_department administration_costs (Finkler et al., 2013). The costs are allocated using the volume of repairs output of Pharmacy department_and resources. The pharmacy department formula is: (3/800)x$15,000. The formula for the other departments’ share of the maintenance_department’s administration_costs was generated using the formula: (797/800)x15,000=$14,977.00 (Epstein, 2011).
Summary of maintenance_department’s costs allocation
The table 4 shows the breakdown of the maintenance departments’ allocation to the Pharmacy and other departments (Epstein, 2011).
B: Absorption_Costing
Table 5 (appendix section) shows the allocation of the maintenance_department costs (Finkler et al., 2013). The costs are allocated based on the square_feet factor. For example, the maintenance_department’s labor_cost allocated to the pharmacy department was computed using: (2,000/100,000)*192,000.00= $3,840.00.
