    Department 1 - $27,500

    Department 2 - $50,000

    Department 3 - $22,500

    Explanation:

    The cost to be allocated to each department is proportional to the sales generated by each department. In other words, as the sales increases so does the cost in a direct proportion manner.

    Total sales = $220,000 + $400,000 + $180,000

    = $800,000

    Advertising cost allocated to

    Department 1

    = (220,000/800,000) * $100,000

    = $27,500

    Department 2

    = (400,000/800,000) * $100,000

    = $50,000

    Department 3

    = (180,000/800,000) * $100,000

    = $22,500
