    Area occupied by Preparation and setup cost = $375

    Explanation:

    Under activity based costing, cost is allocated based on each level of activity.

    Provided monthly rent = $2,500 for 5,000 square feet.

    Rate per square feet = $2,500/5,000 = $0.5 per square feet

    Area occupied by Preparation and setup cost = $0.5 X area taken 750 square feet = $375

    As this was provided in the information, given in question.

    Area occupied by Preparation and setup cost = $375
