\(\begin{array}{c|c} & \text{Departmental A} & \text{Departmental B} \\ \hline \text{Turn over} & ₦100,00 & ₦80,000\\ \text{Commission} & ₦3,600 & & \\ \text{Rent} & ₦6,000 & & \\ \text{Flor space} & & 200m^2 & 100m^2 \end{array}\)
How much commission was apportioned to Department a?
Answer Details
To determine the commission apportioned to Department A, we need to calculate the ratio of turnover between Department A and the total turnover of the company. Total Turnover = Turnover of Department A + Turnover of Department B Total Turnover = ₦100,000 + ₦80,000 = ₦180,000 Ratio of Turnover for Department A = Turnover of Department A / Total Turnover Ratio of Turnover for Department A = ₦100,000 / ₦180,000 = 5/9 Commission apportioned to Department A = Ratio of Turnover for Department A * Total Commission Commission apportioned to Department A = (5/9) * ₦3,600 = ₦2,000 Therefore, the commission apportioned to Department A is ₦2,000.
