Solutions

Expert Solution

Let the total cost of HR and Computing be x and y
x = $ 559000 + 25% of y or, $ 559000 + 0.25y (i)
y = $ 788500 + 20% of x or, $ 788500 + 0.20x (ii)
Putting the value of x in equation (ii), we get
y = $ 788500 + 0.20($ 559000 + 0.25y)
y = $ 788500 + $ 111800 + 0.05y
0.95y = $ 900300
y = $ 947684
Therefore,
x = $ 559000 + 0.25($ 947684)
= $ 795921
