A department store apportions payroll costs on the basis of the number of payroll checks issued. Accounting costs are apportioned on the basis of the number of reports. The payroll costs for the year were $236,000 and the

accounting costs for the year totaled $76,600.

Here is the information on the departments and the average cost of store equipment and average cost of inventory for each:

Number of Payroll Checks Number of Reports

Department R 482 75

Department S 1,470 80

Department T 148 345

I need to find the amount of payroll cost, and accounting cost to be apportioned to each department.

Please help. I need help and an explanation on how to arrive at the answers. Please and thank you!
