General plant, Sanitation, Collection, and Packaging, have departmental costs before allocation of $80,000, $192,000, $600,000, and $900,000 respectively. General plant costs are allocated on the basis of number of direct labor hours worked. Sanitation, Collection, and Packaging worked 2000, 8000, and 10,000 direct labor hours respectively this period. Sanitation costs are allocated on the basis of square footage occupied by a department.
