Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

                                           Costs    Square Feet   Number of Employees

Janitorial Department    $450,000        100                        20

Cafeteria Department      200,000   10,000                        10

Cutting Department       1,500,000    2,000                       60

Assembly Department  3,000,000    8,000                       20

Janitorial departments costs = square footage service

Cafeteria department costs = number of employees

Cost Allocation:

                       Janitorial    Cafeteria      Cutting       Assembly           Total

Direct costs  $450,000   $200,000  $1,500,000  $3,000,000 $5,150,000

Janitorial       (450,000)     225,000         45,000        180,000    0

Cafeteria                           (425,000)       318,750         106,250   0

Total allocated costs                          $1,863,750   $3,286,250 $5,150,000

Allocation of costs:

Janitorial:

Cafeteria = $225,000 ($450,000 * 10,000/20,000)

Cutting = $45,000 ($450,000 * 2,000/20,000)

Assembly = $180,000 ($450,000 * 8,000/20,000)

Cafeteria:

Cutting = $318,750 ($425,000 * 60/80)

Assembly = $106,250 ($425,000 * 20/80)

Percentage usage of the Cafeteria Department by the Assembly = 25% ($106,250/$318,750 * 100)
