This is done by using a variety of methods, such as direct tracing, allocation, and apportionment.<\/p>\n<p>Direct tracing is the most accurate method of assigning overhead costs. It involves assigning costs to departments or cost centers that can be directly linked to those departments or cost centers. For example, the cost of electricity used by a manufacturing department can be directly traced to that department.<\/p>\n<p>Allocation is a less accurate method of assigning overhead costs. It involves assigning costs to departments or cost centers based on some arbitrary measure, such as square footage or number of employees.<\/p>\n<p>Apportionment is a method of assigning overhead costs that is similar to allocation. However, apportionment takes into account the relative use of resources by each department or cost center. For example, the cost of heating and cooling a building can be apportioned to the various departments or cost centers based on the amount of space each department or cost center occupies.<\/p>\n<p>Once overhead costs have been assigned to the various departments or cost centers, they can then be used to calculate the cost of goods sold or the cost of services provided. This information can be used to make more informed decisions about pricing, product mix, and other aspects of business operations.<\/p>\n<p>The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately describe the process of departmentalization of overhead.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>B. secondary distribution<\/strong> is the process of allocating overhead costs to products or services. This is done after the overhead costs have been assigned to the various departments or cost centers.<\/li>\n<li><strong>C. absorption<\/strong> is a method of accounting for overhead costs. It involves assigning overhead costs to products or services based on the amount of resources that each product or service consumes.<\/li>\n<li><strong>D. allocation<\/strong> is a method of assigning overhead costs to departments or cost centers.
