Answer:

Allocated costs= $9,900

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

The Administrative Department costs are allocated to the other three departments based on the number of employees in each.

Costs:

Administration= $30,000

No. of employees:

Maintanance= 2

Assembly= 6

Packaging= 4

First, we need to calculate the proportion of employees in each department:

total employees= 12

Maintanance= 2/12= 0.17

Assembly= 6/12= 0.5

Packaging= 4/12= 0.33

Now, we can allocate the administrative costs to Packaging:

Allocated costs= 0.33*30,000= $9,900
