The correct answer to allocate the amount of cost would be allocated to the startminus up business is $56859

Lease rent allocated to startminus up business = $260000 * 12% = $31200

Allocation of overall costs of maintaining the space = $25659

Amount of cost allocated to the startminus up business = $31200 + $25659 = $56859
