The bases for allocation are power-machine hours; general factory-square feet; and purchasing-purchase orders. Required: 1. Allocate the overhead costs to the producing departments using the direct method. If required, round your allocation ratios to four decimal places and round allocated costs to the nearest dollar and use the rounded values for the subsequent calculations.
