REY [17]

Answer:

Total cost Groceries department 4,103,238

Total cost Gif department 366,763

Explanation:

\left[\begin{array}{ccccc}&Administration&Janitorial&Grocerys&Gifs\\$employee hours&&350&2690&160\\$square feet&&&9200&800\\Direct \: Cost&190000&70000&3860000&350000\\$Allocate A&-190000&20781.25&159718.75&9500\\$Subtotal&&90781.25&4019718.75&359500\\$Allocate J&&-90781.25&83518.75&7262.5\\$Total&&&4103237.5&366762.5\\\end{array}\right]

Adminstration cost will be distributed among Janitorial, Groceries and Gifs

we add up the employee hours:

350 + 2690 +160 = 3200

Then, we cross multuply:

190,000 x 350/3200 = 20781.25

190,000 x 2690/3200 = 159718.75

190,000 x 160/3200 = 9500

we add them to their cost and then do the same for Janitorial.

9200+ 800 = 10,000

90781.25 x 9200/10000 = 83518.75

90781.25 x 800/10000 = 7262.5

giving the total cost of the operating departments.
