Cost allocation from one of the service departments

Reference no: EM13128682

The manager of an operating department just received a cost report and he has made the following comment respect to the cost allocated from one of the service departments: This charge to my division doesn't seem right. The service center installed equipment with more capacity than our division requires. Most of the service department costs are fixed, but we seem to be allocated more costs in periods when other departments use less. We are paying for the excess capacity of other departments when other departments cut their usage levels. How could this manager's problem be solved?
