The Clash Company uses normal costing. The company has one service department (machinemaintenance), and two production departments (P1 and P2). The service department allocates costs tothe production department based on machine hours. The company allocates service costs using whatthe book calls the dual rate method. In other words, the company DOES make a distinction betweenfixed and variable costs when charging service costs to the user departments. Both of the productiondepartments use direct labor hours as their basis for computing predetermined overhead rates.MachineMaintenanceBudgeted variable cost$98,000Budgeted fixed cost$140,000Budgeted machine hoursLong run avg. mach.
