The social media department provides 10% of its time to member services, 18% to North/South America groups, 26% to Asia groups, 25% to Africa/Australia groups, and 21% to European groups. The member services department provides 16% of its time to the social media department, 16% to North/South America groups, 20% to Asia, 18% to Africa/Australia, and 30% to Europe. If the step method is used to assign costs from the support departments to the operating units, and if social media is ranked first between the two support departments, what percentage of each support department's cost will be allocated to each operating/geographic group? (Round answers for member services to 2 decimal places, e.g. 15.25%.)
