Examples of allocate in the following topics:
-
- Depreciation is the process by which an asset is used up, and its cost is allocated over a period of time.
- The allocation of the cost of an asset to periods in which it is used up affects net income.
- Such costs must be allocated to the period of use.
- The business records depreciation expense as an allocation of such costs for financial reporting.
- Depreciation is any method of allocating net cost to those periods expected to benefit from use of the asset.
-
- Costs of goods made by the business include material, labor, and allocated overhead.
- Determining how much of each of these components to allocate to particular goods requires either tracking the particular costs or making some allocations of costs.
- Labor costs may be allocated to an item or set of items based on timekeeping records.
- Variable production overheads are allocated to units produced based on actual use of production facilities.
- Fixed production overheads are often allocated based on normal capacities or expected production.
-
- Finance is the study of fund management and asset allocation over time.
- Finance is the study of fund management and asset allocation over time.

- Asset allocation is the theory that any portfolio should have a set of target weights for different asset classes based on time frame and risk tolerance.
- Assuming rebalancing, the expected return of a diversified portfolio is simply the expected return of each of its underlying investments times the allocation weight the investment receives.
- The theory can feature different strategies, including strategic asset allocation, tactical asset allocation, and others, but the ideas are the same as the implications for return.
- Different returns are expected for different asset allocations given historical averages
-
- Management must allocate limited resources between competing opportunities; since a dollar cannot be used for more than one project at once, it is a challenge to determine how much money should be allocated to each part of the business.
- In determining how to allocate money, the finance group must also figure out where the money will be best utilized.
- Finding the true value of a project is often wrought with uncertainty, but without an accurate valuation, a company may allocate its resources sub-optimally.
-

- Depreciation refers to two very different but related concepts: the decrease in value of assets (fair value depreciation) and the allocation of the cost of assets to periods in which the assets are used (depreciation with the matching principle).
- Generally the cost is allocated, as a depreciation expense, among the periods in which the asset is expected to be used.
-
- A primary reason for a diversified asset allocation is the fact that markets often sway away from each other, and it can be beneficial to have a portion of your holdings invested in bonds in years when stocks do badly.
- A fundamental justification for asset allocation (or Modern Portfolio Theory) is the notion that different asset classes offer returns that are not perfectly correlated, hence diversification reduces the overall risk in terms of the variability of returns for a given level of expected return.

-
