Multiple Choice

Answer the following questions using the information below:
Hugo, owner of Automated Fabric, Inc., is interested in using the reciprocal allocation method. The following data from operations were collected for analysis:
$\text { Budgeted manufacturing overhead costs: }$
$\begin{array}{llr}\text { Maintenance } & \text { M (Support Dept) } & \$ 300,000 \\\text { Personnel } & \mathrm{P} \text { (Support Dept) } & \$ 160,000 \\\text { Weaving } & \text { W (Weaving Dept) } & \$ 650,000 \\\text { Colorizing } & \mathrm{C} \text { (Colorizing Dept) } & \$ 350,000\end{array}$

$\begin{array}{ll}\text { Services fumished: }\\\text { By Maintenance (bud geted labor-hours) : }\\\text { to Personnel } & 1,000 \\\text { to Weaving } & 7,000 \\\text { to Colorizing } & 4,000\\\text { By Personnel (Number of employees serviced) : }\\\text { Plant Maintenance } & 10 \\\text { Weaving } & 30 \\\text { Colorizing } & 20\end{array}$
-Which of the following linear equations represents the complete reciprocated cost of the Personnel Department?

• A) P = $300,000 - $160,000 (1,000/12,000) M
