    Amount allocated = $620,000

    Explanation:

    As per the data given in the question,

    Bond issuance = $15,000,000

    Electric mixer division used = $9,300,000

    Electric lamp division used = $5,700,000

    Interest cost on the bond = $1,000,000

    Electric mixer division = Electric mixer division used : Bond issuance

    = $9,300,000 : $15,000,000

    =0.62

    So, Allocated interest expense = Interest cost on the bond * Electric mixer division

    = $1,000,000 * 0.62

    = $620,000
