Explanation / Answer

1. Maintenance cost is allocated to the fabrication & Assembly deprartment on the basis of machine hours.

Maintenance cost per machine hours = Total Cost / Total Machine hours

= 144,000 / (24,000 + 16,000) = $3.6 per hours

Total Assembly department machine hours = 16,000

Total Allocated cost to assembly = $3.6 x 16,000 = $57,600

Correct Answer is A.

2. Personnel cost is allocated on the basis of number of employees in producing department

Personnel Cost per employee = 80,000 / 80 = $1,000 per personnel

Total Allocated cost to Fabrication = $1,000 x 30 = $30,000

Correct Answer is B.
