    a. $24,000

    Explanation:

    60,000 fixed cost which, are allocated in the base of expected copies:

    total expected copies: 600,000 + 400,000 = 1,000,000

    Copy Center 2 represent 400,000 / 1,000,000 = 40% of the total copies volume for the period

    Therefore from the 60,000 fixed cost the 40% was applied.

    60,000 x 40 % = 24,000
