In 2016 (one year later when the rates have changed), Kranworth continued allocating R&D costs among its three divisions (Retail, Wholesale, Custom) using the dual rates method. The following information for 2016 is available:

Actual R&D costs total 730,000

Budgeted hours 550 1,100 450
Total actual hours 600 1,100 500

How much of the 730,000 should be allocated to the retail division? Assume there is only one variable cost rate (no upcharge when actual hours exceed budgeted hours).
