Exeter Group is a large retall company that has brick-and-mortar outlets throughout the Southeast. They have been in business for many years, but two years ago started an online sales channel to offset slowing In-store sales. The human resources (HR) department at Exeter handles tasks for the two divisions that make up Exeter. Retail and Online. Retail Division manages the company's traditional business line. This business, although still profitable, is currently not growing and may be shrinking slightly. Online Division, on the other hand, has experienced double-digit growth from the beginning. The cost allocation system at Exeter allocates all corporate costs to the divisions based on a variety of cost allocation bases. HR costs are allocated based on the average number of employees in the two divisions. There are two basic activities in the HR Department. The first is employee maintenance (payroll administration, benefits, and so on), which is an ongoing activity and requires the same amount of work for each employee regardless of the employee's salary. The second, called turnover, handles new and departing employees, Including all records and orientations (for new employees) and assurance of procedural integrity (for all departures). Virtually all of this activity occurs when employees are hired or leave the company. Assorted data for Exeter for the most recent year follow.
