Proportional (percentage) usage of the Janitorial Department:

Cafeteria = 50%

Cutting = 10%

Assembly = 40%

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

                 Total Cost         Cost Driver             Square Feet       Number of

                                                                                                    employees

Janitorial   $150,000 Square footage serviced          200                40

Cafeteria      50,000 Number of employees        20,000                 12

Cutting     1,125,000                                                 4,000               120

Assembly 1,100,000                                               16,000                 40

Proportional (percentage) usage of the Janitorial Department:

Cafeteria = 50% (20,000/40,000 * 100)

Cutting = 10% (4,000/40,000 * 100)

Assembly = 40% (16,000/40,000 * 100)

Cost Allocation of the Janitorial Department:

Cafeteria = 50% * $150,000 = $75,000

Cutting = 10% * $150,000 =        15,000

Assembly = 40,% * $150,000 = 60,000

Total =                                    $150,000
