Rasek [7]

Answer:

(a) $9,000 per employee

(b) $252,000; $198,000

Explanation:

Given that,

Fringe benefits cost during 2018 = $450,000

Employees assigned to division A = 28

Employees assigned to division B = 22

(a) Allocation rate:

= Total cost to be allocated ÷ Cost driver

= $450,000 ÷ 50

= $9,000 per employee

(b) Cost assigned to A:

= Division Allocation Rate × Weight of base (No. of employees)

= $9,000 × 28

= $252,000

Cost assigned to B:

= Division Allocation Rate × Weight of base (No. of employees)

= $9,000 × 22

= $198,000
