$111,981

Explanation:

Allocation to Milling Department will be as follows:

Direct Cost = $91,500

Allocation of payroll

Payroll cost = $23,400

Total personnel = 30 + 30 + 90 = 150

Payroll cost allocated = ($23,400/150) 30 = $4,680

Allocation of maintenance

Maintenance Cost = $33,000

Maintenance area total = 13,000 + 18,000 = 31,000 sq feet

Cost allocated to milling = ($33,000/31,000) 13,000 = $13,838.71

Total cost allocated = $91,500 + $4,680 + $13,838.71 = $110,018

Further cost of Maintenance allocated through payroll will be allocated to production departments = ($4,680/31,000) 13,000 = $1,962.5

Total = $110,018 + $1,963 = $111,981
