Saylind molding paid $280,000 in rent for the year. the company's three departments are headrests, armrests, and floor mats. the number of employees working in each department includes 60 in the headrest department, 30 in the armrest department and 110 in floor mats department. the headrest department occupies 5,000 square feet of space; the armrest department occupies 6,300 square feet and the floor mats department occupies 2,700 square feet. what is the most appropriate cost driver (allocation base) for allocating the $280,000 rental cost to each of the departments.

square feet will be the better allocation giving this result:

Headrest: 100,000

Armrests:   126,000

Floor Mats:  54,000

Explanation:

As the rent is a cost associate with the building the better cost driver will be the square feet. This, will incentivize the efficient use of the place.

The cost for each department under this method will be as follow:

280,000 total cost / ( 5,000 + 6,300 + 2,700 = 14,000 feet) = 20 dollars

Headrest: 5,000 x 20  = 100,000

Armrests: 6,300 x 20   = 126,000

Floor Mats: 2,700 x 20 =  54,000

i would prefer to go with the news article for nate, its recent and updated and stores a lot of information

it's actually a very difficult task, due to not many people can make 2 million dollars in 2 years. besides that, to the not-so-realistic ideas, you can create a business. it could be practically anything, but make it into a business that isn't that known yet, you get me? also, lets not forget about stock market. that's where all the good stuff happens. use investments at the beginning and begin to raise up your business or whatever you're going to do. as this is a very non-realistic idea, it's still worth the shot!
