The allocation base chosen for this center is the total number of quality checks performed. The total indirect costs of the department are $182,000.
Workshop 1 : this first workshop is responsible for a first assembly of the fireworks. The allocation base chosen to allocate the indirect costs of Workshop 1 to the products is the total number of machine hours. The total indirect costs of Workshop 1 are $126,000.
Workshop 2 : this second workshop finalizes the assembly of the fireworks. In this Workshop 2, the allocation base chosen to allocate indirect costs to products is the total number of hours of labor. The total indirect costs of Workshop 2 are $51,000.
In July, we produced and sold 1,000 Chinese Dragons and 2,000 Space Tornados.
