Lamingos, Inc. has two service departments and two operating (production) departments. Administrative Department costs are allocated to the Assembly and Packaging departments based on the number of employees, and Maintenance Department costs are allocated to the Assembly and Packaging departments based on square feet occupied. Data for these departments follows: Department Direct Expenses No. of employees Sqaure Feet
Administrative $30,000
Maintenance 15,000
Assembly 70,000 6 2,000
Packaging 45,000 4 3,000

The total amount of the Administrative Department's cost that would eventually be allocated to the Packaging Department is:

Packaging= $12,000

Explanation:

First, we need to calculate the allocation rate of the Administrative Department:

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Allocation rate= 30,000 / (6 + 4)

Allocation rate= $3,000 per employee

Now, we can allocate to the Packaging Department:

Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base

Packaging= 3,000*4

Packaging= $12,000

the correct answer option is b. a single paragraph.

explanation:

when you are thinking about paragraph​ topics, you should always choose a subject that can be adequately addressed in a single paragraph.

a paragraph is a piece of writing consisting of a few sentences that deal with a single theme. it has only a single idea that the paragraph revolves around and talks about.

so a paragraph topic must be chosen wisely where a single idea can be communicated in a single paragraph.
