Answer:


\left[\begin{array}{cccccc}&Cost&Assembly&Setting Up&Other&Total\\wages&349,000&226,850&69,800&52,350&349,000\\Depreciation&290,000&101,500&58,000&130,500&290,000&Utilities&199,000&29,850&149,250&19,900&199,000&Total&838,000&358,200&277,050&202,750&838,000&\end{array}\right]

Step-by-step explanation:

We mulitply each line by the stated percent of each activity

for example

Setting Up % x Utilities= Utilities cost assigned to setting up

199,000x 75% = 149,250

Assembly % Depreciation= Depreciation cost assigned to assembly

35% x 290,000 = 101,500

This process must be done to assign each portion of cost.
