StressedOut, on the other hand, is the company's new business, which has experienced double-digit growth for each of the last three years The cost allocation system at LastCal allocates all corporate costs to the divisions based on a variety of cost allocation bases. Personnel costs are allocated based on the average number of employees in the two divisions There are two basic activities in the Personnel Department. The first, which is called employee maintenance, manages employee records. Virtually all of this activity occurs when employees are hired or leave the company. The other activity is payroll, which is an ongoing activity and requires the same amount of work for each employee regardless of the employee's salary Assorted data for LastCall for the last year follow LadBack Stressedout Total 133 25 101 Number of employees (average) Employees hiredileaving 20 The Personnel Department incurred the following costs during the year Employee maintenance S 142.500 26 600
