National Bank has several departments that occupy both floors of a two-story building. The departmental accounting
system has a single account, Building Occupancy Cost, in its ledger. The types and amounts of occupancy costs recorded
in this account for the current period follow.
Depreciation-Building
Interest-Building mortgage
Taxes-Building and land
Gas (heating) expense
Lighting expense
Maintenance expense
Total occupancy cost
$27,000
40,500
12,000
3,750
4,500
8,250
$96,000
The building has 6,000 square feet on each floor. In prior periods, the accounting manager merely divided the $96,000
occupancy cost by 12,000 square feet to find an average cost of $8 per square foot and then charged each department a
building occupancy cost equal to this rate times the number of square feet that it occupied.
Diane Linder manages a first-floor department that occupies 900 square feet, and Juan Chiro manages a second-floor
department that occupies 1,800 square feet of floor space. In discussing the departmental reports, the second-floor
manager questions whether using the same rate per square foot for all departments makes sense because the first floor
space is more valuable. This manager also references a recent real estate study of average local rental costs for similar
space that shows first floor space worth $40 per square foot and second-floor space worth $10 per square foot (excluding
costs for heating, lighting, and maintenance).
