Selected data for Miller Company, which operates three departments, follow:

Department A Department B Department C

Inventory $$128,000$ $$460,800$ $$179,200$

Equipment $($average cost$)$ $$1,152,000$ $$691,200$ $$460,800$

Payroll $$810,000$ $$720,000$ $$270,000$

Square feet of floor space $18,0009,0003,000$

During the year, the company's fixed expenses included the following:

Depreciation on equipment $$128,000$

Real estate taxes $38,400$

Personal property taxes $($on inventory and equipment$)61,440$

Personnel department expenses $40,000$

Assume that the property tax rate is the same for both inventory and equipment. Using the most causally related bases, prepare a schedule assigning the fixed expenses to the three departments. Hint: Not all fixed expenses are traceable to the three departments. One of these fixed costs should be considered a common cost and not traceable to the departments.
