Working notes to Final Income Statement
 Indirect Labour has been first allocated to different activities which are Scheduling
Production, Physical Change and Recordkeeping on the basis of the information given in the
case about their allocation. Out of these the first one has then been further apportioned to
each of the products on the basis of the Production runs, Physical changover on the basis of
total setup time and recordkeeping has been apportioned equally. This is because
production runs determine how much indirect labour would have worked on each of the
pens, total set up time is taken so as to take into account the time taken to empty and clean
the vats and recordkeeping has been divided equally because irrespective of production
levels the wages given to labour for maintaining records will be the same.
