There are 85 new computers that are to be apportioned among the divisions based on the number of employees in each division. a. Use the Hamilton method to determine the number of computers to be apportioned to each division. b. Use the Jefferson method to determine the number of computers to be apportioned to each division. Does this particular apportionment violate the quota rule? c. Suppose the supplier of the computers decided to reward the corporation with one unit of computer and delivered it just after the deployment of the 85 units. Use the Huntington-Hill apportionment principle to determine which division will get one additional unit?arrow_forward
