| Depreciation | $36,000| Cost of goods sold |

#### Calculation Details
1. **Salaries Allocation**:
- Allocation Basis: Number of employees
- Drilling: \((2,000 / 5,000) * $54,000 = $21,600\)
- Grinding: \((3,000 / 5,000) * $54,000 = $32,400\)
2. **Depreciation Allocation**:
- Allocation Basis: Cost of goods sold
- Drilling: \((148,200 / 390,000) * $36,000 = $13,680\)
- Grinding: \((241,800 / 390,000) * $36,000 = $22,320\)
3. **Advertising Allocation**:
- Allocation Basis: Net sales
- Drilling: \((390,000 / 975,000) * $70,000 = $28,000\)
- Grinding: \((585,000 / 975,000) * $70,000 = $42,000\)
#### Total Allocation
- Total for Drilling: $21,600 (Salaries) + $13,680 (Depreciation) + $28,000 (Advertising) = $63,280
