shared costs. including support costs involved in undert8king each activity. Direct costs attributsble lo a single
activity are allocated diredly to that activity. Shared Costs which Contribute to more than one activity and
support costs whi¢h are not attributsble to a single activity are apportioned bebKeen those activities on a basis
