Answer:

Allocated advertising = $21,885

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Advertising expense= $47,000

Sales:

Department S $109,000

Department T 218,850

Department U 142,150

Total 470,000

First, we need to calculate the proportion of sales of Department T:

Sales proportion Department T= 218,850 / 470,000= 0.4656

Now, we can allocate advertising costs:

Allocated advertising = 47,000*0.4656

Allocated advertising = $21,884
