Answer:

B. Each​ product, or​ job, uses the department to a different extent.

Explanation:

Departmental overhead rates uses a standard charge that is based on produced units attributed to a department.

Costs are applied with high precision.

When this model is used, the standard rate is multiplied by the number of units produced in the department, so there is no over allocation of resources.

For example if we consider the hours a machine operates. With a standard rate of $10 per hour, machine operation of 6 hours will give $10* 6 hours= $60
