XYZ Hospital does not allocate Support Costs by Dept to Patient Service Depts, and has historically done P&L statement.

Part 1: Use Step Down cost allocation method to allocate Support Dept Costs to Patient Service Depts in order to know profitability of each Patient Service Dept. Allocate costs in this order and by 3 following methods:

1) Housekeeping by Square Feet
2) Human Resources: by Number of Employees
3) General Administration: By Revenue

Complete a dept cost allocation schedule identifying all relevant allocation rates, amounts allocated, cost pools, drivers, etc. and a final Profit and Loss calculation by Patient Service Dept for each of the 3 methods.

Ex:

Cost Pool for:  Housekeeping by SF
DepartmentAllocation Rates$'s Allocated
Housekeeping
H/R

Part 2: Apply housekeeping labor hours rather than square feet to allocate housekeeping costs for each of the three methods.
