3 Ways to Allocate Costs to Multiple Support Departments (Direct, Step-down, and Reciprocal methods)

This video discusses three different ways to allocate the costs of multiple support departments when the support departments provide services to each other. The key question is how to treat the costs of services that the support departments provide to each other. The Direct Method does not allocate any of these costs, the Step-down Method allocates some of these costs, and the Reciprocal Method allocates all of these costs.

thank you so much. I'm doing a cost accounting class without lectures so these videos really help to explain the concepts.

You're very welcome!

[@ritikjassal649]

YOU'RE THE BEST I NEVER STUDY THE WHOLE SEMESTER AND GUESS WHAT I STILL MANAGE TO GET A CREDIT STUDYING 2 DAYS BEFORE THE EXAMS ALL CREDIT GOES TO YOU.

[@depressedterrestrial6821]

Instead of teaching, my professor shows your videos. Thanks for being an actual instructor, I guess.

You've just saved my ass, you are a man sculptured from greatness

[@pavanicolombage500]

Thank you professor. You just simplify the complicated stuffs into simple learning. Could you please tell me in a situation where cost allocated for each department is not given, only the no. of hours allocated for the department given., how to calculate the departmental OH rate? Isn't it similar to plant wide OH rate?
