Respuesta :

Answer:

$16,850 Department Y wage expense

$20,150 is Department Z wage expense

Explanation:

Departmental Wage Expense for Dept. Y and Dept Z respectively are:

Indirect Wages = 37,000 – 5,600 – 8,900 = 22,500

Therefore 22,500 is to be allocated between departments in ratio of 1:1

Department Y wage expense

= 5,600 + (22,500 * ½)

= 5,600 + 11,250 = $16,850

Therefore $16,850 Department Y wage expense

Department Z wage expense

= 8,900 + (22,500 * ½) = 8,900

8,900 + 11,250 = $20,150

Therefore $20,150 is Department Z wage expense
