Answer:
The Rates and Taxes:
Factory = R 10,500
Office = R 3,500
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Total amount for Rates and Taxes = R 14,000
Factory space = 75%
Therefore, office space = 25% (100 - 75%)
Apportionment of the Rates and Taxes for the month:
Factory = R 10,500 (R 14,000 * 75%)
Office = R 3,500 ( R 14,000 * 25%)
b) Each function of the business entity is apportioned a part of the Rates and Taxes according to the size of the floor space they take up. This shows that Rates and Taxes are dependent on floor space.
