(iii) Department
\(\begin{array}{c|c} & Turnover & \text{Floor space in square meters} \\ & N & N \\ \hline A. & 40,000 & 120 \\ B. & 60,000 & 80 \\ C. & 80,000 & 100\end{array}\)
How much rent is appointed to department A?
Answer Details
To apportion the rent to department A, we need to use the floor space occupied by department A as a percentage of the total floor space occupied by all three departments. The rent will be apportioned to each department based on its percentage of the total floor space. Total floor space = floor space of department A + floor space of department B + floor space of department C = 120 + 80 + 100 = 300 Now, we can calculate the percentage of the total floor space occupied by department A: Percentage of floor space occupied by department A = (floor space of department A / total floor space) x 100% = (120 / 300) x 100% = 40% To calculate the rent apportioned to department A, we multiply the total rent by the percentage of floor space occupied by department A: Rent apportioned to department A = 40% x N3,000 = N1,200 Therefore, the amount of rent appointed to department A is N1,200.
