Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The most appropriate allocation basis for the salaries of advisors who work with all students in all divisions of the college would be the number of students advised from each division. This allocation basis is appropriate because the number of students advised reflects the workload of the advisors and the extent of their contribution to the academic success of individual students in each division. The other choices (number of classes offered in each division, student graduation rate, square footage of each division, and relative salaries of division heads) do not accurately reflect the workload or contributions of the advisors to the college.
