    Allocated costs = $9,900

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    The Administrative Department costs are allocated to the other three departments based on the number of employees in each.

    Costs:

    Administration = $30,000

    No. of employees:

    Maintanance = 2

    Assembly = 6

    Packaging = 4

    First, we need to calculate the proportion of employees in each department:

    total employees = 12

    Maintanance = 2/12 = 0.17

    Assembly = 6/12 = 0.5

    Packaging = 4/12 = 0.33

    Now, we can allocate the administrative costs to Packaging:

    Allocated costs = 0.33*30,000 = $9,900
