A company has a processing department with 10 stations. Because of the nature and use of three of these stations, each is considered a separate cost center for IDC allocation. The remaining seven are grouped as one cost center, CC 190. Operating hours are used as the allocation basis for all stations. A total of $243,000 is allocated to the department for next year. Use the data collected this year to determine the indirect cost (IDC) rate for each center.
| Cost Center | IDC Allocated | Operating Hours |
| CC 100 | $25,000 | 800 |
| CC 110 | $43,000 | 200 |
| CC 120 | $75,000 | 1200 |
| CC 190 | $100,000 | 1630 |
