Hours of press time					30,000	60,000	90,000

Administration is allocated based on number of employees; Janitorial based on space occupied; and Maintenance based on hours of press time.

Required:

Assuming that the company uses the direct method to allocate service department costs, how much cost would be assigned to each operating department? (Please enter allocations from a department as negative and allocations to a department as positive. The line should add across to zero. Do not round intermediate calculations.)
