Proportion of Driver Used by Human Resources General Factory Fabricating Assembly Human Resources 0 0.3182 0.6819 X General Factory 0.0594 0.2871 0.6535 2. Using the sequential method, allocate the costs of the Human Resources and General Factory departments to the Fabricating and Assembly departments. If an amount is zero, enter"0" Round your answers to the nearest dollar.
