Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Usage data:

                      Repairs     HR       IT     M1      M2

Repairs                            0%     0%   40%   60%

HR                     10%       __     20%   35%   35%

IT                        0%       10%    __     20%   70%

HR Costs = $55,600:

Repairs = $5,560 ($55,600 * 10%)

IT = $11,120 ($55,600 * 20%)

M1 = $19,460 ($55,600 * 35%)

M2 = $19,460 ($55,600 * 35%)

IT costs = $92,120:

Repairs = $0 ($92,120 * 0%)

M1 = $20,471 ($92,120 * 20/90)

m2 = $71,649 ($92,120 * 70/90)

Repair costs = $41,560:

M1 = $16,624 ($41,560 * 40%)

M2 = $24,936 ($41,560 * 60%)

Answer:

HR allocation:

$3,960 = 0.10 × $39,600

$7,920 = 0.20 × $39,600

$13,860 = 0.35 × $39,600

$13,860 = 0.35 × $39,600

 

IT allocation:

$52,920 cost of IT is $45,000 (direct cost) + $7,920 (allocated from HR)

 

$11,760 = 0.2 × $52,920

(0.2 + 0.7)  

$41,160 = 0.7 × $52,920

(0.2 + 0.7)

 

Repairs allocation:

$23,960 cost of Repair is $20,000 (direct cost) + $3,960 (allocated from HR)

$9,584 = 0.40 × $23,960

$14,376 = 0.60 × $23,960
