Answer:

Mixing = 25,920 square feet

Bottling = 17,280 square feet

Total         43,200 square feet

Maintenance cost allocated to each operating department:

Mixing = 25,920/43,200  x  $238,000 = $142,800

Bottling = 17,280/43,200 x $238,000 = $95,200

Explanation:

In this scenario, we need to calculate the total square feet. The maintenance cost allocated to each operating department is the square feet occupied by each department divided by total square feet multiplied by total maintenance cost.
