- The following table below shows the number of employees in the four divisions of a corporation. There are 85 new computers that are to be apportioned among the divisions based on the number of employees in each division. a. Use the Hamilton method to determine the number of computers to be apportioned to each division. b. Use the Jefferson method to determine the number of computers to be apportioned to each division. Does this particular apportionment violate the quota rule? c. Suppose the supplier of the computers decided to reward the corporation with one unit of computer and delivered it just after the deployment of the 85 units.

- The first six problems relate to the results of apportioning seats to states according to different methods. In the nation of Gulfiana, the Legislature offers 27 seats, to be apportioned according to each state's population. State Population Alassippi 16,600 Florgia 8,381 Louisiansas 5,885 Kennessee 1,950 To answer the next six problems, it is recommended you determine the apportionment of the Legislature according to Jefferson's Method, Adams' Method, and Webster's Method. Helpful Nudge: To cut down on trial-and-error, consider the following list of numbers.
