Reciprocal Method of Support Department Cost Allocation Chekov Company has two support departments, Human Resources and General Factory, and two producing departments, Fabricating and Assembly. Direct costs Normal activity: Human Resources General Factory Human Resources (HR) General Factory (GF) Number of employees Square footage 6,000 The costs of the Human Resources Department are allocated on the basis of number of employees, and the costs of General Factory are allocated on the basis of square footage. Now assume that Chekov Company uses the reciprocal method to allocate support department costs. Direct costs Allocate: Support Departments Human Resources $150,000 Human Resources General Factory M Total after allocation 1,500 General Factory Required: 1. Calculate the allocation ratios (rounded to four significant digits) for the four departments using the reciprocal method. If an amount is zero, enter "0". Use the rounded values for subsequent calculation: Proportion of Driver Used by Human Resources $340,000 $ Producing Departments 60 Fabricating Assembly $114,800 $95,000 + 2. Develop a simultaneous equations system of total costs for the support departments. If required, round your answers to four decimal places. Use these numbers for subsequent calculations. If required, round all other intermediate calculations to six decimal places, except the answers computed in requirement 1.
