i Required 1. Assume that a single cost pool is used for the power plant costs. What budgeted amounts will be allocated to each manufacturing department if (a) the rate is calculated based on practical capacity and costs are allocated based on practical capacity and (b) the rate is calculated based on expected monthly usage and costs are allocated based on expected monthly usage? 2. Assume the dual-rate method is used with separate cost pools for the variable and fixed costs. Variable costs are allocated on the basis of expected monthly usage. Fixed costs are allocated on the basis of practical capacity. What budgeted amounts will be allocated to each manufacturing department? Why might you prefer the dual-rate method? i Budgeted data Manufacturing Department Loretta Bently Melboum Eastmoreland Needed at Practical Capacity Production Level (Kilowatt-Hours) 13,000 29,000 12,000 6,000 Average Expected Monthly Usage (Kilowatt-Hours) 16,000 12,000 18,000 4,000 60,000 50,000 Total The Winnipeg power plant that services all manufacturing departments of Eastern Engineering has a budget for the coming year.

The expected monthly costs for operating the power plant during the budget year are $18,000: 89,000 variable and $9,000 fixed. Requirement 1. Assume that a single cost pool is used for the power plant costs. What budgeted amounts will be allocated to each manufacturing department if (a) the rate is calculated based on practical capacity and costs are allocated based on practical capacity and (b) the rate is calculated based on expected monthly usage and costs are allocated based on expected monthly usage? (Round the budgeted rate to the nearest cent.) (a) (b) Budgeted rate per hour: Loretta Bently Melboum Eastmoreland Total Requirement 2. Assume the dual-rate method is used with separate cost pools for the variable and fixed costs. Va expected monthly usage. Fixed costs are allocated on the basis of practical capacity. What budgeted amounts will department? Why might you prefer the dual-rate method? Begin by calculating the budgeted amounts that will be allocated to each manufacturing department. Variable Fixed Total Budgeted rate per hour: Loretta Bently Melboum MIT Eastmoreland Total Why might you prefer the dual-rate method? The dual rate allows allocation of the power department costs. The dual rate permits the use of a more general a more refined Enter any number in continue to the next question. Why might you prefer the dual-rate method? The dual rate allows allocation of the power department costs. The dual rate permits the use of the next question. different allocation bases for different cost pools, the same allocation base for all cost pools
