    The allocation of advertising costs will be as follows,

    Department 1 = $26500

    Department 2 = $51940

    Department 3 = $27560

    Explanation:

    The advertising expense will be allocated on the weightage of sales basis to each department.

    The weightage of sales can be calculated by dividing the individual department sales by the total sales of all the departments. The total sales for all the departments are,

    Total sales = 212500 + 416500 + 221000 = $850000

    The allocation of advertising costs will be as follows,

    Department 1 = (212500/850000) * 106000 = $26500

    Department 2 = (416500/850000) * 106000 = $51940

    Department 3 = (221000/850000) * 106000 = $27560
