Listed below are the operating data for the current period: Department Direct Expenses Square Feet Maintenance $27,000 6,000 Milling 77,500 12,000 Assembly 106,400 18,000 The total cost of operating the Assembly Department for the current period is:.a. $91,800. b. $115,600. c. $105,400. d. $120,700. e. $130,900.

$122,600

Explanation:

Maintenance department cost = $27,000

Assembly department cost = $106,400

Square feet occupied by Milling department = 12,000

Square feet occupied by Assembly department = 18,000

Total square feet occupied by two production departments = Square feet occupied by Milling department + Square feet occupied by Assembly department

= 12,000 + 18,000

= 30,000

Maintenance department cost allocated to Assembly department = Maintenance department cost * (Square feet occupied by Assembly department / Total square feet occupied by two production departments)

= 27,000 * (18,000/30,000)

= 27,000 * 0.6

= 16,200

The total cost of operating the Assembly department for the current period = Assembly department cost + Maintenance department cost allocated to Assembly department

= $106,400 + $16,200

= $122,600
