Question:

Selto & Company manufactures and sells T-shirts for advertising and promotional purposes. The company has two manufacturing operations, shirtmaking and printing. When the company receives an order for T-shirts, the shirtmaking department obtains the materials and colors requested and has the shirts made in the desired mix of sizes. It sends the completed shirts to the printing department where the custom labels or designs are prepared and silk-screened onto the shirts.

To support the manufacturing activity, the company has a building that houses the two manufacturing departments as well as the sales department, payroll department, and the design and patterns staff.

To aid in cost control, the company accumulates the costs of these support functions in separate service departments: (1) building occupancy, (2) human resources, and (3) design and patterns.

During the current period, the direct costs incurred by each department are as follows:
