QS 22-6 (Algo) ?Allocating costs to departments LO P2<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Macee Store has three operating departments, and it conducts advertising that benefits all departments. Advertising costs ar $100,000. ?Sales for its operating departments follow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The correct answer and explanation is:<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To solve this, let’s distribute the advertising costs ($100,000) among the three operating departments based on their sales proportions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steps to Solve:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. Identify Total Sales:<\/strong> Add up the sales of all operating departments to find the total sales. Total\u00a0Sales=Sales\u00a0of\u00a0Department\u00a0A+Sales\u00a0of\u00a0Department\u00a0B+Sales\u00a0of\u00a0Department\u00a0C\\text{Total Sales} = \\text{Sales of Department A} + \\text{Sales of Department B} + \\text{Sales of Department C}<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Calculate Proportion of Sales for Each Department:<\/strong> Divide the sales of each department by the total sales to find their sales proportion. Proportion\u00a0for\u00a0Department\u00a0A=Sales\u00a0of\u00a0Department\u00a0ATotal\u00a0Sales\\text{Proportion for Department A} = \\frac{\\text{Sales of Department A}}{\\text{Total Sales}} Repeat for Department B and C.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Allocate Advertising Costs:<\/strong> Multiply the total advertising costs by each department’s sales proportion. Cost\u00a0for\u00a0Department\u00a0A=Proportion\u00a0for\u00a0Department\u00a0A\u00d7100,000\\text{Cost for Department A} = \\text{Proportion for Department A} \\times 100,000 Repeat for Department B and C.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Example Calculation:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Assume the sales are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • Department A: $400,000<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Department B: $300,000<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Department C: $300,000<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      1. Total Sales:<\/strong> Total Sales=400,000+300,000+300,000=1,000,000\\text{Total Sales} = 400,000 + 300,000 + 300,000 = 1,000,000<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      2. Sales Proportions:<\/strong> Proportion for A=400,0001,000,000=0.4\\text{Proportion for A} = \\frac{400,000}{1,000,000} = 0.4 Proportion for B=300,0001,000,000=0.3\\text{Proportion for B} = \\frac{300,000}{1,000,000} = 0.3 Proportion for C=300,0001,000,000=0.3\\text{Proportion for C} = \\frac{300,000}{1,000,000} = 0.3<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      3. Allocate Costs:<\/strong> Cost for A=0.4\u00d7100,000=40,000\\text{Cost for A} = 0.4 \\times 100,000 = 40,000 Cost for B=0.3\u00d7100,000=30,000\\text{Cost for B} = 0.3 \\times 100,000 = 30,000 Cost for C=0.3\u00d7100,000=30,000\\text{Cost for C} = 0.3 \\times 100,000 = 30,000<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Explanation:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      The advertising cost allocation ensures fairness by distributing expenses based on the departments\u2019 contributions to total sales. In this example, Department A receives the highest allocation ($40,000) due to its larger sales share (40% of total sales). Departments B and C share the remaining costs equally ($30,000 each) as their sales contributions are identical (30% each). This proportional allocation method aligns expenses with revenue generation, promoting equitable financial responsibility across departments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
