The summary of factory overhead prepared from the factory overhead ledger is reproduced here:
The total expenses of the Maintenance Department are distributed on the basis of floor space occupied by the Power Department (8,820 sq ft), Stamping Department (19,500 sq ft), and Plating Department (7,875 sq ft). The power department expenses are then allocated equally to the Stamping and Plating departments.
