Answer:
$13,800
Explanation:
Home office occupies 60% of the total space of the total property. Computed as follows;
1,500 sq. ft / 2,500 sq. ft = 60% , Therefore, 60% of the total expenses incurred by his home is allocated to his office on a pro rata basis.
Rent expense $18,000 x 60% = $10,800
Utilities expense $2,000 x 60% = $1,200
Maintenance expense $3,000x60% =$1,800
Total allocation is $10,800 + $1,200 + $1,800 = $13,800
The remaining 40% of the expenses will be allocated as personal expenses of Bobby.
