    Mixing = $142,800

    Bottling = $95,200

    Explanation:

    Th amount of indirect cost of maintenance to be allocated to the two departments would be as follows:

    Allocated Maintenance department cost:

    Mixing = 25,380 / (25,380 + 16,920) * $238,000 = 142800

    Bottling = 16,920 / (25,380 + 16,920) * $238,000 = 95200

    Allocated maintenance overheads

    Mixing = $142,800
