It is a necessary step in the process of cost accounting, which is the process of tracking and reporting costs.<\/p>\n<p>Cost allocation can be done in a number of ways, but the most common method is to use a cost driver. A cost driver is a factor that causes costs to increase or decrease. For example, the number of units produced is a cost driver for the cost of direct labor.<\/p>\n<p>Once a cost driver has been identified, the costs can be allocated to cost centers or cost units based on the amount of the cost driver that each cost center or cost unit uses. For example, if the cost driver is the number of units produced, then the cost of direct labor would be allocated to each cost center based on the number of units produced in that cost center.<\/p>\n<p>Cost allocation is an important part of cost accounting because it allows businesses to track and report costs accurately.
