Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To allocate the cost of the building to the music department, we need to find the proportion of the total square footage that the music department occupies:

8,000 (music department square footage) / 40,000 (total square footage) = 0.2

This means that the music department occupies 20% of the total building space. To find out how much of the total building cost is allocated to music, we need to multiply the total building cost by this proportion:

0.2 x $50,000 = $10,000

Therefore, the answer is D) $10,000.
