Read the requirements.

Requirement $1.$ Describe the key features of the reciprocal method.

department cost allocations.

Requirement $2.$ Allocate the support departments' costs $($human resources and information systems$)$ to the two operating departments using the reciprocal method.

Before we can allocate the support departments' costs to the two operating departments using the reciprocal method, let's first determine the linear equations for each support department.

Then off$-$line solve for HR and IS $($Information Systems$),$ so that you may complete the allocation of the support departments' costs. $($Abbreviations used: HR $=$ human resources; IS $=$

information system.$)$

$HR=$

$IS=,+,0\mathrm{.}20000,HR$

$.$XXXXX$,$ and your final answers to the nearest whole dollar. Use parentheses or a minus sign when decreasing departments by allocating costs. Enter a $"0"$ for zero

Can I have the explanation to every calculation please???
