Reciprocal Method of Support Department Cost Allocation Valron Company has two support departments, Human Resources and General Factory, and two producing departments, Fabricating and Assembly.

Now assume that Valron Company uses the reciprocal method to allocate support department costs. 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 calculations. Proportion of Driver Used by Human Resources General Factory Fabricating Assembly Human Resources General Factory 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. Human Resources (HR) = $ + (GF) General Factory (GF) = $ + (HR) Solve for the total reciprocated costs of each support department. (Round reciprocated total costs to the nearest dollar.) Human Resources (HR) $ General Factory (GF) $ 3. Using the reciprocal method, allocate the costs of the Human Resources and General Factory departments to the Fabricating and Assembly departments. Round all allocated costs to the nearest dollar. If an amount is zero, enter "0". Note: There may be a "$1" difference due to intermediate rounding.
