    A Region

    Allocation of service department expense is $42,840

    Operating Income is $107,160

    B Region

    Allocation of service department expense is $77,160

    Operating Income is $247,840

    Explanation:

    A Region

    Percentage of sales allocation = Sales / Total of sales of both region

    = $500,000 / ($500,000 + $900,000)

    = $500,000 / $1,400,000

    = 35.7%

    Allocation of service department expense:

    = Percentage of sales allocation * (Purchasing + Payroll accounting)

    = 35.7% * ($90,000 + $30,000)

    = 35.7% * $120,000

    = $42,840

    The computation of Operating Income is as:

    Operating Income = Sales - COGS - Selling expense - Allocation of service department expense

    = $500,000 - $200,000 - $150,000 - $42,840

    = $107,160

    B Region

    Percentage of sales allocation = Sales / Total of sales of both region

    = $900,000 / ($500,000 + $900,000)

    = $900,000 / $1,400,000

    = 64.3%

    Allocation of service department expense:

    = Percentage of sales allocation * (Purchasing + Payroll accounting)

    = 64.3% * ($90,000 + $30,000)

    = 64.3% * $120,000

    = $77,160

    The computation of Operating Income is as:

    Operating Income = Sales - COGS - Selling expense - Allocation of service department expense

    = $900,000 - $300,000 - $275,000 - $77,160

    = $247,840
