Ans:

		Owned	Rented
Description	Total	State P	State Q
Manufacturing Wages	1100000	0.5855	0.4090
Administrative Wages	520000	0.6538	0.3462
Office Salaries	430000	0.7441	0.2558
	Factor	1.9834	1.011

Working:

For manufacturing wages (P)= 650,000/1,110,000*100 = 58.55%

For Administrative wages(P)= 340,000/520,000*100= 65.38%

Office Salaries(p)= 320,000/430,000*100= 74.41%

Now apportioning the given information we can determine the factors of state P and Q now by converting the same in percentage terms by multiplying it by 100 we can determine the payroll factor as stated below:

Total Factor	3.0000
	A	B	C = A/B
State P	1.9834	3.0000	0.6611	Payroll Factor State P
State Q	1.011	3.0000	0.3370	Payroll Factor State Q

Payroll Factor

State P = 0.6611 or 66.11%

State Q = 0.3370 = 33.70%
