To departmentize expenses on this basis, it is necessary to prorate each item of expense to each department. Suppose, for example, that one of the departments is flour. The flour department would have to be charged with its pro rata share of the sales force expense, advertising expense, receiving and handling expense, rent, and so on for each of the other expenses.
