Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

                                Service Departments               Operating Departments

                 Administration Janitorial Maintenance     Binding      Printing    Total

Costs          $168,000        $126,000     $57,600     $330,000  $516,000   $1,197,600

Number of

employees           60                    35              140              315         210    760

Square feet of

space occupied 15,000       10,000       20,000        40,000      100,000    185,000

press time                                                                     30,000      60,000     90,000

Allocation bases:

Administration cost = Number of employees 525

Janitorial cost = Square feet 140,000

Maintenance cost = Hours of press time 90,000

Allocation Rates and to Operating Departments:

Administration $168,000/525 = $320 per employee

Binding = 315 * $320 = $100,800

Printing = 210 * $320 = $67,200

Janitorial costs = $126,000/140,000 = $0.90 per square feet

Binding = 40,000 * $0.90 = $36,000

Printing = 100,000 * $0.90 = $90,000

Maintenance costs = $57,600/90,000 = $0.64 per press hour

Binding = 30,000 * $0.64 = $19,200

Printing = 60,000 * $0.64 = $38,400
