Question:

Zhao Manufacturing Company has two departments, machining and finishing. For a given period, the following costs were incurred by the company as a whole: direct materials, $200,000; direct labour, $75,000; and indirect production, $80,000. The grand total was $355,000. The machining department incurred 70 percent of the direct materials costs, but only 33⅓ percent of the direct labour costs. As is commonplace, indirect production costs incurred by each department were allocated to products in proportion to the direct labour costs of products within the departments. Three products were produced.Product Direct Material Direct Labour Sigma 40% 30% Chi 30% 30% Delta 30% 40% Total for the machining department 100% 10
