First, we identify the factor that drives costs in the
service department.
This cost driver is called the allocation base.
How are servicedepartment costs
charged to productiondepartments?

Are fixedand variable
costs allocateddifferently?

17-16
Result
When one departmentdecreases activity to
reduce allocations, alldepartments are penalized
because the chargeper use increases.
Remember, total fixedcosts do not change as
activity changes.
