What are examples of cost allocation?

Cost allocation involves assigning indirect costs to specific departments, projects, or products based on relevant bases such as labor hours, machine hours, or revenue. Common examples include allocating overhead expenses like rent, utilities, and administrative salaries to different cost centers to accurately determine product or service costs. Accurate cost allocation helps organizations analyze profitability and make informed financial decisions.
