The provost at San Francisco University is considering allocating the cost of campus security to the university's various colleges (Arts and Science, Business, Engineering, Nursing, etc.). In this regard, she is considering three allocation bases:
1. College expenses as a percent of total expenses summed across all colleges.
2. Number of college majors as a percent of the total number of students.
3. Square feet of space occupied by the college as a percent of the total square feet summed across all colleges.
Required
Suppose that the allocation will be subtracted from each college's annual budget and the amount returned to the provost to fund campus police. Explain why the deans of the various colleges are not likely to be in agreement as to which is the "best" allocation?
