    A) $1,200

    Explanation:

    The computation of the allocated amount to the clothing department is shown below:

    = Total utility expense * Clothing Department square feet : Total square feet

    where,

    Total square feet would be

    = Clothing Department square feet + Cycles department square feet

    = 600 + 900

    = 1,500

    And, the other items values would remain the same

    Now put these values to the above formula

    So, the value would equal to

    = $2,000 * 900 : 1,500

    = $1,200
