c. If the firm chooses total hours worked as the cost driver, how would the indirect costs be allocated to the two units? What is the revenue from the Government unit?

Answer: See attachment

Explanation:

a. Based on the information in the attachment, the indirect costs that's allocated to the units will be:

Government = 450,000

Corporate = 750,000

The expected revenue that can be generated from the government unit will be:

= 495,000 × (100% + 15%)

= 495,000 × 1.15

= $569250

b. Based on the information given, the indirect costs that's allocated to the units will be:

Government unit = 360,000

Corporate unit = 840,000

The revenue from the government will be:

= 405000 × (100% + 15%)

= 405000 × 115%

= 405000 × 1.15

= $465750

c. If the firm chooses total hours worked as the cost driver, the indirect costs be allocated to the two units as:

Government = 400,000

Corporate unit = 800,000

Revenue from government will be:

= 445000 × 115%

= 445000 × 1.15

= $511750
