### Required Information**[The following information applies to the questions displayed below.]**Fifth Street Publishing (FSP) was founded many years ago as a printing cooperative offering printing services to members. Most members were charitable and religious organizations. Ten years ago, FSP became a for-profit corporation, although it retained its commitment to the original member groups. It has two production departments, Member and Commercial. The Member Department handles printing jobs for nonprofit groups and Commercial serves the remaining customers. FSP is organized this way to facilitate its billing: FSP charges nonprofit customers a price equal to the full cost of the job, including allocated overhead; commercial jobs are priced based on what the market will bear. FSP has two service departments, Accounting and Computer Services (CS). Accounting costs are allocated based on number of employees, and CS costs are allocated based on computer time (hours). Selected percentage use data follow:#### Use of Services Chart:| Supplying Department | Using Department | ||----------------------|----------------------------------------------------------|---------------------------------------------|| | Accounting Services | Member | Commercial || Accounting (employees) | 0% | 30% | 10% | 60% || Computer Services (hours) | 40% | 0% | 20% | 40% |- **Direct cost**: - Accounting: $9,000 - Computer Services: $38,000 - Member: $130,000 - Commercial: $350,000This data reflects how FSP allocates costs from its service departments to its production departments. **Allocation of Service Department Costs Using the Reciprocal Method**The controller has tasked the cost accountant with allocating the costs by employing the reciprocal method. We aim to determine how service department costs will be distributed among the production departments, with a specific requirement not to round intermediate calculations. Negative values should be presented with a minus sign.**Table Layout and Details:**The table is divided into two main sections: the columns represent departments and the rows capture the cost information. - **Columns:** - Accounting - Computer Service - Member Department - Commercial Department- **Rows:** - Service Department Costs - Before Allocation: The initial costs before any allocation are displayed. - Accounting: $9,000 - Computer Service: $38,000 - Member Department: $0 - Commercial Department: $0 - Accounting: Rows left blank for allocation entries. - Computer Service: Rows left blank for allocation entries. - Total: - Accounting: $9,000 - Computer Service: $38,000 - Member Department: $0 - Commercial Department: $0**Note:** The table requires the completion of allocations from the Accounting and Computer Service departments to the Member and Commercial Departments using the reciprocal method. Each cell intersection of departments needs calculated values, to be filled in while considering mutual services rendered between departments.

Overhead: It is the indirect cost incurred in addition to the direct costs for manufacture of products or for providing services. Reciprocal method allocation: Under this method, the simultaneous equation method is used to allocate the service department costs. Under this method, the costs of service departments are allocated to one another along with the production departments.e)

Topic: Membership Dues Better Community, a new local not-for-profit entity, has been recently formed. The organizers of the entity have formalized operations in such a way that they will charge membership dues, but will not provide any specific services in exchange for the dues. In discussion with a local accountant, who is also a new member of the not-for-profit entity, the conclusion is reached that the dues will be recognized as contributions and recorded as revenue in the year received rather than over the period of membership. In a review of the entity's operations, you find that additional services, such as seminars and group insurance, are provided by the entity. However, members are charged an additional cost for the aforementioned services. Because of this new information, you decide to investigate whether Better Community's recording of membership dues is appropriate. Required: Utilize the FASB's Codification to determine the appropriate accounting treatment for membership…

Zone was founded 30 years ago and generates less than half of what Central Support brings in.

Central Emergency Aid is building its donation network and is already close to the level of Central Kidz Zone in terms of fundraising dollars.Until last year, all three entities operated separately —separate staff, separate spaces, and separate work plans. Then last year, discussions began to coordinate some of their administrative efforts for efficiency pur-poses, recognizing that each could benefit if they were willing to give up a bit of comfort.Each entity is paying the following amount annually to rent administrative space and cover the cost of…
