Reciprocal method :
Let the total cost for Administration be "X" and total cost for Accounting be "Y"
Administration | Accounting | Domestic | International | Total | |
Number of employees | 0 | 22 | 48 | 30 | 100 |
22/100 = .22 | 48/100 =.48 | 30/100 =.30 | |||
Number of transactions | 33000 | 0 | 22000 | 88000 | 143000 |

Administration department :
Total cost =Direct cost + allocation from Accounting department
X = 363000 + [.23077* Y] [Equation 1]
Accounting department
Total cost =Direct cost + allocation from Administration department
Y= 149000+ [.22* X]
Putting the value from equation 1
Y = 149000+ [.22* {363000+.23077 Y} ]
=149000+ [79860+ .05077 Y ]
= 228860 + .05077Y
Y-.05077Y = 228860
.94923 Y = 228860
Y= 241101
Putting the value in equation 1
X = 363000 + [.23077* Y]
X = 363000+ [.23077*241101]
= 363000+ 55639
= 418639
Total cost for Administration = 418639
Total cost for Accounting = 241101
