Explanation Formula used: To obtain the modified divisor when determining apportionment, use the following formula, Modified quota = population of the particular area modified divisor . Apportionment Method used: Adams’ Apportionment Method: 1. Determine a modified divisor d , such that when each group’s modified quota rounded up to the nearest integer. 2. Apportion to each group its modified upper quota. Given: When a boat manufacturer has 120 boats new boats of a new model to be apportioned to four dealerships. The manufactures decides to apportion the boats based on the number of boats each dealership sold in the previous year. The number of boats sold by each dealership is shown in the table below. Dealership A B C D Total Sales 3840 2886 2392 1682 10800 Calculation: Let us assume the modified divisor d = 91.5 (in between 91 and 92). Use the formula of modified quota, the modified quota of dealership A is as follows. Modified quota of dealership A = 3840 91.5 = 41.97 The modified quota of the dealership A is 41.97, and the nearest up integer to the modified quota is 42. Thus, the Adams’ apportionment of dealership A is 42. Obtain the modified quota of dealership B. Modified quota of dealership B = 2886 91
