I need help understanding this question and how to do it.

Reciprocal Method of Support Department Cost Allocation Chekov Company has two support departments, Human Resources and General Factory, and two producing departments, Fabricating and Assembly. Support Departments Producing Departments General Human Resources Factory Fabricating Assembly Direct costs $150,000 $330,000 $114,800 $95,000 Normal activity 60 45 Number of employees 80 Square footage 1,500 6,000 14,000 The costs of the Human Resources Department are allocated on the basis of number of employees, and the costs of General Factory are allocated on the basis of square footage. Now assume that Chekov Company uses the reciprocal method to allocate support department costs. Required: : 1. Calculate the allocation ratios (rounded to four significant digits) for the four departments using the reciprocal method. If an amount is zero, enter "o". Use the rounded values for subsequent calculations. Proportion of Driver Used by Human Resources General Factory Fabricating Assembly Human Resources General Factory 2. Develop a simultaneous equations system total costs for the support departments. If required, round your answers to four decimal places. Use these numbers for subsequent calculations. If required, round all other intermediate calculations to six decimal places, except the answers computed in requirement 1. Human Resources (HR) (GF) General Factory (GF) = $ (HR) Solve for the total reciprocated costs of each support department (Round reciprocated total costs to the nearest dollar) Human Resources (HR) General Factory (GF) 3. Using the reciprocal method, allocate the costs of the Human Resources and General Factory departments to the Fabricating and Assembly departments. Round all allocated costs to the nearest dollar. If an amount is zero, enter "0". Note: There may be a "$1" difference due to intermediate rounding.
