    (a) $9,000 per employee

    (b) $252,000; $198,000

    Explanation:

    Given that,

    Fringe benefits cost during 2018 = $450,000

    Employees assigned to division A = 28

    Employees assigned to division B = 22

    (a) Allocation rate:

    = Total cost to be allocated : Cost driver

    = $450,000 : 50

    = $9,000 per employee

    (b) Cost assigned to A:

    = Division Allocation Rate * Weight of base (No. of employees)

    = $9,000 * 28

    = $252,000

    Cost assigned to B:

    = Division Allocation Rate * Weight of base (No. of employees)

    = $9,000 * 22

    = $198,000
