1. Martinez, Inc., has tow separate departments (Human Resources and Building Maintenance) and two production departments (Machining and Assembly). The company allocates Building Maintenance cost on the basis of square footage and believes that Building Maintenance provides more service than Human Resources. The square footage occupied by each department follows:

   Human Resources 6,000

   Building Maintenance 13,000

   Machining 18,000

   Assembly 26,000

   Assuming use of the direct method, over how many square feet would the Building Maintenance cost be allocated (i.e., spread)?

   		19,000
   		44,000
   		50,000
   		63,000
   		More information is needed to judge
