Chapter 2, Problem 34E

The governor’s office recently began using this computer also. As a result of the increased usage, the demands on the computer soon exceeded its capacity.

Required:
- 1. What type of cost is this $14,000?
- 2. Should this cost be associated with the governor’s office or the Department of Education? Why?
