Answer and Explanation:
Given:
Mixing department occupies = 26,220 square feet
Bottling department occupies = 17,480 square feet.
Total maintenance costs = $204,000
Computation of total area:
Total area = (26,220 + 17,480) square feet
Total area = 43,700 square feet
Computation of mixing department maintenance costs:
Mixing department maintenance costs = Total maintenance costs(Mixing department area / Total area)
Mixing department maintenance costs = $204,000(26,220 / 43,700)
Mixing department maintenance costs = $204,000(0.6)
Mixing department maintenance costs = $122,400
Computation of bottling department maintenance costs:
Bottling department maintenance costs = Total maintenance costs(Bottling department area / Total area)
Bottling department maintenance costs = $204,000(17,480 / 43,700)
Bottling department maintenance costs = $204,000(0.4)
Bottling department maintenance costs = $81,600
