Blossom Manufacturing produces wooden outdoor furniture. Blossom uses the direct method to allocate service department costs to the production departments. There are two service departments: administration and custodial services, and two production departments: cutting and assembly. Administration costs are allocated based on labour hours, and custodial services costs are allocated based on space occupied.
