Rent | 40% | 40% | 20% |

In Shop Medic BD the total rent is 1,00,000 BDT per month which is divided into five equal sectors, two or 40% for the production of masks, the other two or 40% for the production of gloves (1,00,000 BDT * 80%) 80,000 BDT and the remaining one or 20% for the administrative office (1,00,000 BDT * 20%) 20,000 BDT
As for depreciation both the machines are calculated on the basis of a straight line method with a life expectancy of 20 years or a depreciation rate of 5%. Depreciation cost for mask making machine for the month will be [(30,00,0000 BDT * 5%) / 12 months] 12500 BDT per month. And the depreciation cost of gloves making machine will be [( 12,00,000 BDT * 5%) / 12 months] 5000 BDT per month .
The electricity bill for Shop Medic BD is 35,000 BDT per month. Here one seventh of the cost or 10% is incurred by the administrative office (35,000 BDT * 1/7) 5,000 BDT per month and the electricity cost is incurred by the production process (35,000 BDT * 6/7) 30,000 BDT per month. From which for the production of mask 55% (35,000 BDT * 55%)19250 BDT and for the production of gloves 35% (35,000 BDT * 35%)12250 BDT is used.
An essential part of any business is its salaries, its what attracts workers and also keeps them in check. The same goes for Shop Medic BD, a huge part of its expense is also salaries. there are two experts working directly with the production of gloves, and two experts working in the production of masks, receiving an hourly rate of 100 BDT for 8 hours per day. However as they are producing 12,00,000 units, thus working for 200 hours, it will generate a labor cost of 20,000 BDT each worker (100BDT * 200hours) in the gloves department. Meaning a total cost of 40,000 BDT. As for the mask department producing 6,00,000 units, thus working for 200 hours, it will generate a labor cost of 20,000 BDT each worker (100BDT * 200hours). Meaning a total cost of 40,000 BDT. All this in turn makes 18% of the whole salaries in both departments (185000 BDT * 18%)33,300 BDT. And the rest 64% (185000 BDT * 64%)118,400 BDT goes in the other or administrative department.
