QS 24-14 Rent expense allocated to departments LO P2
Car Mart pays $130,000 rent each year for its two-story building. The space in this building is occupied by five departments as specified here.

  
  Paint department  1,440  square feet of first-floor space
  Engine department 3,360  square feet of first-floor space
  Window department 2,016  square feet of second-floor space
  Electrical department 960  square feet of second-floor space
  Accessory department 1,824  square feet of second-floor space


The company allocates 65% of total rent expense to the first floor and 35% to the second floor, and then allocates rent expense for each floor to the departments occupying that floor on the basis of space occupied.

Determine the rent expense to be allocated to each department.
