Reciprocal Method

Let Sa represent the net costs of service dept 1

Let Sb represent the net costs of service dept 2

Let Sc represent the net costs of service dept 3

Sa = 92,400 + 0.15b + 0.3 Sc--------------------------Eq(i)

Sb = 184,800 + 0.1 Sa ----------------------------------Eq(ii)

Sc  = 138,600 + 0.2 Sa + 0.2 Sb----------------------Eq(iii)

After substituting Equation (iii) into Equation (i) and solving, then we get;

Sa = 92,400 + 0.1 (184,800 + 0.1 Sa) + 0.35c

Sa = 92,400 + 18,480 + 0.01 Sa + 0.3Sc

0.99 Sa = 110,880 + 0.3Sc--------------------------Eq(iv)

After substituting Equation (ii) into Equation (iii) and solving, then we get,

Sc  = 138,600 + 0.2Sa + 0.2 (184,800 + 0.1Sa)

Sc  = 138,600 + 0.2Sa + 0.22Sc--------------------------Eq(v)

After substituting (v) into Eq(iv) and solving then we get,

0.99Sa = 110,880 + 0.3 (175,560 + 0.22Sa),

0.99Sa = 163,548 + 0.066 Sa

0.924Sa = 163,548

Sa = 163,548= 177,000

Consequently Sb = 184,800 + 0.1 (Sa) = 184,800 + 0.1(177,000) = Shs.202, 500

                      Sc = 138,600 + 0.2(177,000) + 0.2(202,500) = Shs.214, 500
