Answer:

$16,800

Explanation:

Calculation to determine The amount of cost that should be allocated to the Chemistry Department is

First step is to calculate the Cost to be allocated

Cost to be allocated = $43,000 + $4,500 + $36,500

Cost to be allocated= $84,000

Second step is to calculate the Allocation base

Allocation base = 500 + 200 + 300

Allocation base = 1,000 total students

Third step is to calculate the Allocation rate using this formula

Allocation rate = Cost to be allocated ÷

Allocation base

Let plug in the formula

Allocation rate= $84,000 ÷ 1,000

Allocation rate = $84 per student

Now let calculate the Allocation to Chemistry Department

Allocation to Chemistry Department = $84 per student x 200

Allocation to Chemistry Department = $16,800

Therefore The amount of cost that should be allocated to the Chemistry Department is $16,800
