   expense accounts will generally be apportioned in the same manner as
   the related plant accounts.

   (c) Except where property obtained from or furnished to other companies
   is treated as owned property by the company making the separation, and
   the related operating rents are excluded from the separation studies as
   set forth in § 36.2 (c) and (d), amounts are apportioned among the
   operations on bases generally consistent with the treatment prescribed
   for similar plant costs and consistent with the relative magnitude of
   the items involved.
