Let Overhead cost of Maintenance department is $ X and Overhead cost of Janitorial department is $ Y
So, X= 71612+ 6.98% of Y Equation 1
Y= 60712+ 12.50% of X Equation 2
Or, X= 71612+ 0.0698Y
Y= 60712+ 0.125X
Substituting the value of X in equation 2:
Y = 60712 + 0.125(71,612 + 0.0698Y)
Y = 60712 + 8951.50 + 0.0087Y
Y – 0.0087Y = 69,123.50
0.9913Y = 69,123.50
Y = 69,123.50/0.9913
Y = $ 69,731.62
Total Overhead cost of Janitorial department is $ 69,731.62
Substituting the value of Y in equation 1:
X= 71612+ 6.98% of Y
X= 71612+ 6.98%* 69,731.62
X= 71612+ 4865
X= $ 76,477
Total Overhead cost of maintenance department is $ 76,477.
