Explanation:

Calculation for the amount of cost allocated to the Cafeteria under the step method

Using this formula

Allocation to Cafeteria=[Cafeteria/(Cafeteria+Producing Department A+Producing Department B)]×Budgeted costs

Let plug in the formula

Allocation to Cafeteria=[25/(25 + 308 + 287)] x $72,450

Allocation to Cafeteria=(25/520)×$72,450

Allocation to Cafeteria=0.0480769231×$72,450
