    56,000

    Explanation:

    The calculation of square feet would the Building Maintenance cost be allocated is shown below:-

    Square feet over which Building Maintenance cost would be allocated = Square Footage of Machining + Square Footage of Assembly

    = 24,000 + 32,000

    = 56,000

    Therefore for computing the square feet would the Building Maintenance cost be allocated we simply applied the above formula.
