Department A occupies 10,000 square feet, Department B occupies 6,000 square feet, and Department C occupies 4,000 square feet.

What percent of the total overhead expense should be allocated to Department B?

30 percent

Explanation:

Department A= 10,000

Department B= 6,000

Department C= 4,000

Total= 20,000 square feet

Total square feet= 10,000 + 6,000 + 4,000= 20,000 square feet

hence the allocated square feet for department B= 6,000/20,000 X 100

Percentage for department B= 30%
