Cost allocation is often the centerpiece of conflict that is resolved in court cases. The litigation usually involves the dispute over now costs are allocated to a product or product line that is of interest to the plaintiff. This is particularly an issue when a company roduces some products or services for a price-competitive market while other products or services are produced for a governmental unit on a cost-plus or reimbursement basis. Vursing Care Incorporated, or NCl, operates both a small nursing home and a retirement home. There is a single kitchen used to orovide meals to both the nursing home and retirement home, meaning labor costs and utilities costs of the kitchen are shared by he two homes. There is also a centralized cleaning department that provides the cleaning services for both homes as well as the sitchen. The nursing home serves only indigent patients who are on Medicaid. The state Department of Health and Family Services DHFS) reimburses NCl at Medicaid-approved cost reimbursement rates. The Medicaid reimbursement rates are based on cost nformation supplied by NCl. The relevant cost and allocation data for the most recent year appear in the following table. Required: 1. Management of NCl currently allocates the kitchen and cleaning department costs based on the number of residents in each nome. Determine the amount of service department costs assigned to each of the homes using this allocation base. 2. DHFS auditors believe the step method of allocation should be used by first assigning cleaning costs based on square feet and hen kitchen costs based on number of residents. Determine the amount of service department costs assigned to each of the nomes using this allocation method. (Do not round percentages in your calculations.)
