Solution

To solve this problem, we first need to calculate the total indirect costs and the total floor area.

The total indirect costs are the sum of the factory cleaning cost and the heat and light cost, which is 25,000+25,000 + 68,000 = $93,000.

The total floor area is the sum of the floor areas of cost centres A, B, and C, which is 15,000 sq m + 20,000 sq m + 25,000 sq m = 60,000 sq m.

Next, we need to determine the proportion of the total floor area that cost centre C occupies. This is 25,000 sq m / 60,000 sq m = 0.4167 (rounded to four decimal places).

Finally, we multiply the total indirect costs by the proportion of the total floor area that cost centre C occupies to find the total indirect cost apportioned to cost centre C. This is 93,0000.4167=93,000 * 0.4167 = 38,751.10.

So, the closest answer to the total indirect cost apportioned to cost centre C is $38,750.
