Marshall University offers only high-tech graduate-level programs. Marshall has two principal operating departments, Commerce and Social Sciences, and two support departments, Facility and Technology Maintenance and Enrollment Services. The base used to allocate facility and technology maintenance is budgeted total maintenance hours. The base used to allocate enrollment services is number of credit hours for a department. The Facility and Technology Maintenance budget is $500,000, while the Enrollment Services budget is $900,000. The following chart summarizes budgeted amounts and allocation-base amounts used by each department:

 F&T Maintenance provided to enrollment services = 5,000/14,000
Enrollment services provided to maintenance = 2,000/62,000
F&T Maintenance provides the greatest amount of service to support departments, so it is allocated first.

F&T Maintenance $500,000to Enrollment Services = $500,000  5/14 = $178,571
to Commerce = $500,000  3/14= $107,143
to Social Sciences = $500,000  6/14 = $214,286

Enrollment Service costs of $900,000 + $178,571 = $1,078,571
are allocated to Commerce and Social Sciences
to Commerce = $1,078,571  25/60 = $449,405
to Social Sciences = $1,078,572  35/60 = $629,167
