The Aeronautical Limited has production facility specialising in jobs for the

aircraft components marketing. The traditional costing has two direct cost
categories namely, direct materials and direct manufacturing labour and a
single indirect cost pool that is manufacturing overhead allocated on the
basis of direct labour hours. The indirect cost allocation rate would have
been Rs.115 per direct manufacturing labour hour.
The company has now decided to replace the single indirect cost pool with
five indirect cost pools, representing five activity areas each with its own
supervising and budget responsibility. The relevant data are as follows:
Activity Area
Material handling
Lathe Work
Milling
Grinding
Testing

allocation base
