Reciprocal Method Stores Maintenance Machining Assembly Finishing Total
Stores % 0.00% 10.00% 40.00% 30.00% 20.00% 100.00%
Maintenance % 5.00% 0.00% 55.00% 20.00% 20.00% 100.00%
Overhead costs         1,000.00             800.00    6,000.00       2,500.00             1,500.00       11,800.00
Let cost of Stores is $ X and Maintenance is $ Y
So, X= 1000+ 5% of Y
So, X= 1000+ 0.05Y
Y= 800+ 10% of X
Y= 800+ 0.10X
Substituting the value of X in equation 2:
Y = 800 + 0.10(1000 + 0.05Y)
Y = 800 + 100+.005Y
Y – 0.005Y = 800+100
0.995Y = 900
Y = 900/0.995
Y = $ 905
Substituting the value of Y in equation 1:
So, X= 1000+ 0.05Y
So, X= 1000+ 0.05*905
So, X= 1000+ 45
X= $ 1,045
