The advertising department developed and aired 150 spots. Of these spots, 60 spots were for Shoes and 90 spots were for Clothing. The store sold $1,500,000 of merchandise during the year; $675,000 in Shoes and $825,000 in Clothing. Indirect expenses include rent, utilities, and insurance expense. Total indirect expenses of $220,000 are allocated to all departments. Prepare a departmental expense allocation spreadsheet for Naples. The spreadsheet should assign (1) direct expenses to each of the four departments, (2) allocate the indirect expenses to each department on the basis of floor space occupied, (3) the advertising department's expenses to the two operating departments on the basis of ad spots placed promoting each department's products, (4) the administrative department's expenses based on the amount of sales. Complete the departmental expense allocation spreadsheet below. Provide supporting computations for the expense allocations below the spreadsheet.
