What is the importance?

Zhao Manufacturing Company has two departments, machining and finishing. For a given period the following costs were incurred by the company as a whole: direct material, $200,000; direct labor, $75,000; and indirect production, $80,000. The grand total was $355,000.

The machining department incurred 70% of the direct material costs, but only 33 1/3% of the direct labor costs. As in commonplace, indirect production costs incurred by each department were allocated to products in proportion to the direct-labor costs of products within the departments. Three products were produced.
