According to the Chapter 7 in our textbook, allocating costs among the different costs objects can give management a great deal of flexibility as to how allocation is done. There are times when management allocates costs where more cost is assigned to a particular support department or product than another way of allocating costs. Is this type of cost allocation ethical?
