Home » CMA Glossary Term » Cost Accounting » Dual Allocation Method

The Dual Allocation Method is an allocation method meaning a technique used in cost accounting to distribute indirect costs across multiple departments or cost centers. This method involves two stages: first, allocating costs to service departments, and second, redistributing these costs to production departments. It ensures a more accurate reflection of resource usage and cost distribution.
