Cost Allocation Method
Allocate shared costs fairly across products or departments.
Updated June 2026
The prompt
Recommend a cost allocation method for {{business}} to spread shared costs {{shared_costs}} across {{cost_objects}}. Compare allocation bases (headcount, revenue, usage, activity), explain which gives the truest picture for decision-making, how to implement it, and the distortions a poor method causes. Note that allocation can mislead if the base does not reflect what actually drives the cost.
