Balco Inc. has two production departments, Clear and Cream, and two service departments, Electricity and Water. Electricity renders 10% of its services to Water, 30% to Clear, and 60% to Cream, while Water renders 50% of its services to Electricity, 10% to Clear, and 40% to Cream. Total costs before allocation are $200,000 for Electricity and $300,000 for Water. You are the manager of the Cream department.
