    Answer and Explanation:

    Given:

    Mixing department occupies = 26,220 square feet

    Bottling department occupies = 17,480 square feet.

    Total maintenance costs = $204,000

    Computation of total area:

    Total area = (26,220 + 17,480) square feet

    Total area = 43,700 square feet

    Computation of mixing department maintenance costs:

    Mixing department maintenance costs = Total maintenance costs (Mixing department area / Total area)

    Mixing department maintenance costs = $204,000 (26,220 / 43,700)

    Mixing department maintenance costs = $204,000 (0.6)

    Mixing department maintenance costs = $122,400

    Computation of bottling department maintenance costs:

    Bottling department maintenance costs = Total maintenance costs (Bottling department area / Total area)

    Bottling department maintenance costs = $204,000 (17,480 / 43,700)

    Bottling department maintenance costs = $204,000 (0.4)

    Bottling department maintenance costs = $81,600
