Answer:
C) $340,240
Explanation:
Service Department Operating Department
Administrative Facilities Assembly Wholesaling
Departmental costs $26,840 $59,400 $183,430 $321,190
Employee time (hours) 4,000 2,000 29,000 15,000
Space occupied - sq ft 2,000 2,000 30,000 6,000
total administrative costs = $26,840
total employee hours = 29,000 + 15,000 = 44,000
administrative cost per employee hour = $26,840 / 44,000 = $0.61
total facilities costs = $59,400
total square feet = 30,000 + 6,000 = 36,000
administrative cost per employee hour = $59,400 / 36,000 = $1.65
total Wholesaling Department cost = $321,190 + ($0.61 x 15,000) + ($1.65 x 6,000) = $321,190 + $9,150 + $9,900 = $340,240
