Legal Advice. Steven's two revenue generating (production)
operations are supported by two service departments: Clerical and

following order using the designated allocation bases:
Clerical:
Variable cost: expected number of work orders processed.
Fixed cost: long-run average number of work orders processed.
Janitorial:
Variable cost: labor hours.
Fixed cost: square footage of space occupied.
Average and expected activity levels for next month (June) are as
follows:
No. of Work Orders | ||||
Expected | Average | Labor Hours | Square Footage | |
Septic Service | 45 | 80 | 710 | 1,950 |

Clerical | 20 | 20 | 550 | 1,750 |
Janitorial | 5 | 15 | 350 | 1,150 |

follows:
Clerical | Janitorial | |||||
Variable costs | $ | 14,000 | $ | 5,700 | ||
Fixed costs | $ | 9,900 | $ | 950 | ||

$14,988.
$14,475.
$15,145.
$18,795.
Total expected number of work orders processed other than Clerical Service= 45+30+5= 80
Clerical service variable cost that should be allocated to Septic Service operation for June= $14000*45/80= $7875
Total average number of work orders processed other than Clerical Service= 80+25+15= 120
Clerical service fixed cost that should be allocated to Septic Service operation for June= $9900*80/120= $6600
Total Clerical Service cost should be allocated to the Septic Service operation for June= $7875+6600= $14475
So, the answer is option B) $14475
