Explanation / Answer

Answer

the department 1 = 1000000 - 700000 - 100000

= 200000 / 1000000

= 20 %

2

administrative cost = 50000 / 280 * 70 = 12500

maintenance fee = 12000 * (12000 / 36000 ) = 4000

utilities = 6000 * (12000 / 36000) = 2000

total = 18500

total amount allocated to welding department = 18500
