Banc Corp. Trust estimates that it costs $500 to analyze and close a commercial loan. This amount has been included in the $396,000 of overhead costs. How much of the remaining overhead costs should be allocated to the Consumer Department?

$172,200

Explanation:

Number of commercial loans processed = 300

Cost of processing a commercial loan = $500

Overhead cost = $396,000

Total cost = 300 * $500 = $150,000

Overhead left = $(396,000 - 150,000) = $246,000

Overhead sharing between commercial and consumer department :

Total loans = (300 + 700) = 1000

Number of consumer department loan = 700

Consumer department overhead :

(246,000 / 1000) * 700

246 * 700 = $172,200
