Explanation / Answer
Part A Proportion of service used by
Department Direct cost Maintenance cafeteria Building A BuildingB
Maintenance $200000 (200000 -200000) 200000*0.2/1 200000*0.5/1 200000*0.3/1
= 0 = $40000 = $100000 = $60000
Cafeteria $160000 $200000*0.8 (160000 + $40000) 200000*0.1 200000*0.1
=$160000 $200000 - $200000 =0 =$20000 =$20000
Part B Proportion of service used by
Department Direct cost Maintenance cafeteria Building A BuildingB
Cafeteria 160000 160000*0.8 160000-160000 160000 * 0.1 160000*0.1
=$128000 =0 = $16000 =$16000
Maintenance 200000 200000+128000 328000 * 0.2 328000* 0.5 328000* 0.3
328000-328000 =0 =$65600 =164000 =$98400
