Answer:

department y = $8,970

department z = $6,030

Step-by-step explanation:

departments direct expenses indirect expenses

y $1,600 $13,400 x 55% = $7,370

z $0 $13,400 x 45% = $6,030

total delivery expenses:

department y = $1,600 + $7,370 = $8,970

department z = $0 + $6,030 = $6,030

indirect delivery expenses are allocated based on the percentage of use by each department.
