Solution
To allocate the Quality Control cost to the Assembly department using the direct method, we first need to calculate the total number of employees in the operating departments:
Total Number of Employees = Number of Employees in Machining + Number of Employees in Assembly = 5 + 0 = 5
Next, we calculate the proportion of employees in the Assembly department to the total number of employees:
Proportion of Employees in Assembly = Number of Employees in Assembly / Total Number of Employees = 0 / 5 = 0
Finally, we multiply the total Quality Control cost by the proportion of employees in the Assembly department to find the amount of Quality Control cost allocated to the Assembly department:
Quality Control Cost Allocated to Assembly = Total Quality Control Cost * Proportion of Employees in Assembly = 0
Therefore, the amount of Quality Control cost allocated to the Assembly department is $0.
