Answer:
$85,260.
Explanation:
The Pound industries customer service department incurs $203,000 when 7,000 calls were made. The calls allocated to wholesale operations are 2,940 calls. To identify cost per call, we divide total cost by number of calls initiated.
Cost per call = $203,000 / 7000 calls
Cost per call = $29.
Wholesales operations cost = No. of calls for wholesale operation / Cost per call.
Wholesale operations cost = 2,940 calls * $29 / call
Wholesale operation cost allocated amount = $85,260.
