Supervision expenses match with Number of employees in each department; Heating and air conditioning expenses match with Cubic capacity (volume of space) of each department; Depreciation of plant and machinery matches with Book value of machinery in each department; Delivery van expenses match with Sales turnover of each department.
Each overhead expense in departmental accounting must be allocated according to its direct cost driver: supervision expenses are apportioned by employee headcount; heating and air conditioning by cubic volume of space; plant depreciation by asset book value; and delivery van expenses by departmental sales turnover.
