METHODS OF ALLOCATION
The allocation of expenses not directly attributable to a particular nuclear
station are based, by division, on the direct charging of that division's
manpower. When corporate costs have been allocated to the plants, a fixed
rate is calculated to apply to total direct costs. This rate is derived by
dividing the estimated corporate costs by the estimated plant direct costs.
The overhead rate is reviewed periodically and revised as appropriate to fully
allocate costs by year-end.
