Step-down method accounting


Problem: The Danville Manufacturing Company has two service departments and two producing departments. The following data are available for 2006.

                      Service Dept. 1    Service Dept. 2    Producing 1    Producing 2
Department Costs    $12,000    $8,000    $60,000    $70,000
Number of Transactions    6,00 0    4,000    6,000    14,000
Square Feet Occupied    2,000    1,000    4,000    6,000

The costs of service departments 1 and 2 are allocated on the basis of the number of transactions and square feet occupied, respectively. Assuming that the Danville Manufacturing Company allocates service department 1 costs first, the amount of service department 1 costs allocated to service department 2 under the step-down method would be:

A. $0.
B. $1,600.
C. $2,000
D. $2,400.
