| Administration | Accounting | Domestic | International | |||||||||
| Employees | – | 28 | 38 | 34 | ||||||||
| Transactions | 36,000 | – | 20,000 | 80,000 | ||||||||
| Department direct costs | $ | 353,000 | $ | 143,000 | $ | 930,000 | $ | 3,640,000 | ||||

b. Allocate the cost of the service departments to
the operating departments using the step method. Start with
Administration.
c. Allocate the cost of the service departments to
the operating departments using the reciprocal method.
| Let the total cost of Administration and Accounting be x and y |
| x | = | $ 353000 + 36y/136 | (i) | ||
| y | = | $ 143000 + 28x/100 | (ii) | ||
| Putting the value of x in equation (ii), we get | |||||
| y | = | $ 143000 + 28/100($ 353000 + 36y/136) | |||
| y | = | $ 143000 + $ 98840 + 0.074118y | |||
| 0.925882y | = | $ 241840 | |||
| y | = | $ 261199 | |||
| Now, x | = | $ 353000 + [(36 x $ 261199) / 136] | |||
| = | $ 422141 | ||||
