    a. $16,350.

    Explanation:

    The computation of the advertising expense to Department T based on departmental sales is shown below:

    = Total advertising expenses * Department T Sales : total sales

    = $37,000 * $212,550 : $481,000

    = $16,350

    By multiplying the total advertising expenses with the department T sales and then divide it by the total sales we can get the allocation amount
