Calculations

Indirect FOH                            Assembly       Fabricating        Total                                                      

Administration: $80,000       48,000              32000             $80,000    

Maintenance: 100,000           $ 55000             45000          100,000    

Total                                      $ 103,000           $ 77000

Working:

As administration is allocated based on workers in each department; maintenance is allocated based on areas occupied therefore the total amount in each department will be allocated on the number of employees and the area occupied.It can be calculated as follows.

Administration Costs  Assembly    = ($80,000/ 250)*  150= $48,000  

Maintenance Costs  Assembly    =100,000/8000)*4400  = $ 55000                  

Total Assembly Indirect Expenses FOH =  $ 103,000      

Administration Costs  Fabricating     = ($80,000/ 250)*  100= $32,000  

Maintenance Costs   Fabricating    =100,000/8000)* 3600  = $ 45000                  

Total Assembly Indirect Expenses FOH =  $ 77,000
