What are the difference methods of allocating the overheads of service cost centre?

There are three methods of service department allocation are in general use . 1- Direct method Ther direct method is the simplest the direct method allocates service department costs directly to the producing departments without regard for services rendered by service departments to each other. service department costs are allocated to production departments based on an allocation base appropriate to each esrvice department's function. 2- The step or step-down method Allocates some of costs of services rendered by service dapartments of each other. The step method derives its name from the procedure involved : the service departments are allocated in order, from the one that provides the most service to other service department down to the one that provides the least . 3- the reciprocal method Is the most complex and the most theoretically sound of the three methods. it is also known as the simultaneous solution method, cross allocation method, matrix allocation method,or double distribution method. The reciprocal method recognizes services rendered by all service departments to each other. BY AMIR KAMAL MASSOUD

What is the step down allocation method?

The step down allocation method is a way of distributing indirect costs to different departments or cost centers within an organization. It involves sequentially allocating service department costs to production departments based on a predetermined basis, such as usage or direct labor hours. This method recognizes that service departments also provide support to one another, allowing for a more accurate representation of total costs. However, it does not fully allocate all service department costs to each other, which can lead to some costs remaining unallocated.

Do prior department costs behave similarly to direct materials cost?

Prior department costs behave the same as direct materials, which are typically added at the start of production. They are treated separately because they represent the accumulation of costs from previous departments rather than the receipt of materials from the stores area. It is helpful to separate prior department costs from other costs because the manager of the department receiving the transferred units has no control over the costs incurred in prior departments. Thus, the prior department costs are not useful for evaluating the performance of the manager of the department receiving the units.
