The Fleming Foundation is a charitable organization founded by Gaylord Fleming and Sandy Fleming. The Flemings intended for the charity to provide programs in health care for older persons, particularly those in poverty. The two main program divisions of the foundation are mental health and housing for elderly individuals. In addition to these programs, the foundation also provides health care educational programs and has a significant fund-raising effort to help the foundation grow and accomplish the goals of the founders. The foundation is organized into two operating departments-education and program management. These departments are supported by two service departments-information technology (IT) and administration. To summarize, there are four departments (two service departments and two operating departments) and two programs (mental health and housing for older adults). The service department costs are allocated to the operating departments, and then the operating department costs are allocated to the programs. There are $300,000 of costs directly traceable to each of the four departments. An additional $45,000 of indirect costs is shared among the four departments, $25,500 of which is allocated to the departments based on labor hours and $19,500 of which is allocated to the departments based on the number of personnel (head count) in the departments. The cost, labor hours, and head count in these departments in the most recent year are as follows: Departments Information technology Administration Education Program management Direct Cost $ 9,000 125,000 112,000 54,000 $ 300,000 Labor Hours 2,000 2,000 4,000 2,000 Head Count 1 4 4 3 IT serves education, administration, and program management 20%, 20%, and 60% of its time, respectively. Administration serves education, IT, and program management 40%, 10%, and 50% of its time, respectively. The costs of the two operating departments (education and program management) are allocated to the two programs (mental health and housing) as follows: the costs in Education are allocated on the basis of labor hours in the programs, while the costs in program management are allocated using the head count used in the two programs. The following table shows the labor hours and head count consumption by the two programs.
