Solutions

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

= $400,000/400

= $1,000

So, the answer is option B) $1,000

3) Total number of copies= 20,000+30,000+50,000= 100,000

Support department allocation rate for the Graphics Production= Cost of Graphics Production department/Total number of copies

= $200,000/100,000= $2

Accounting ($250*700)	175,000
