Reciprocal Method | Maintenance | Security | Mining | Cutting | Total |
Number of Service Calls | 17.00 | 20.00 | 60.00 | 20.00 | 117.00 |

Asset Value | 200,000.00 | 80,000.00 | 300,000.00 | 300,000.00 | 880,000.00 |
Number of Service Calls % | 20.00% | 60.00% | 20.00% | 100.00% | |
Asset Value % | 25.00% | 37.50% | 37.50% | 100.00% | |
Department Cost | 25,000.00 | 42,500.00 | 160,000.00 | 95,000.00 | 322,500.00 |
Let Overhead cost of maintenance department is $ X and Overhead cost of Security department is $ Y | |
So, X= 25000+ 25% of Y | Equation 1 |
Y= 42500+ 20% of X | Equation 2 |
Or, X= 25000+ 0.25Y | |
Y= 42500+ 0.20X |
Substituting the value of X in equation 2: |
Y = 42,500 + 0.20(25,000 + 0.25Y) |
Y = 42,500 + 5,000+.05 |
Y – 0.05 = 47,500 |
0.95Y = 47,500 |
Y = 47,500/0.95 |
Y = $ 50,000. |
Total Overhead cost of Security department is $ 50,000. |
Substituting the value of Y in equation 1: |
X= 25,000+ 25% of Y |
X= 25,000+ 25%*50,000 |
X= 25,000+ 12,500 |
X= 37,500 |
Total Overhead cost of Maintenance department is $ 37,500. |
