The Bramble Company makes wheels and wings for ground transport vehicles and drones. In addition
to the key manufacturing departments, Bramble needs two key support services, provided by its
Maintenance and IT departments.
The Maintenance costs are allocated to other departments based on the square footage of space each
department occupies. The IT department allocates its costs to other departments based on the amount
of time the IT employees spend assisting the other departments. The cost information of all four
departments, along with their usage information for both allocation bases, is as follows.
