1) Total number of invoices processed= 700+800+500= 2000
Support department allocation rate for the Accounting Department= Cost of accounting department/Total number of invoices processed
= $500,000/2,000= $250
So, the answer is option B) $250
2) Total number of employees= 130+145+125= 400
Support department allocation rate for the Personnel Department= Cost of personnel department/Total number of employees
