Answer 1

$404,800

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculation to determine How much rent is allocable to the assembly department using the direct method of allocation

Using this formula

Rent =Area used by Assembly department / Total Area used by Manufacturing Departments x Total Rent paid

Let plug in the formula

Rent =36,850/ (36,850+30,150) x $736,000

Rent=36,850/67,000*$738,000

Rent=0.55*$736,000

Rent= $404,800

Therefore How much rent is allocable to the assembly department using the direct method of allocation is $404,800
