Note 1 --- Service Department Charges
Total Service Dept Charges = $724,000
Total Travel Reservation served = 5,000
Per Travel Reservation charges = $724,000 / 5000 = $144.80
Allocated Service Department Charges to South Division = Reservation served by south division 2,850 * Per Travel Reservation Charges $144.80
= $412,680
Allocated Service Department Charges to West Division = Reservation served by West division 2,150 * $144.80
