Interdepartment Services: Step Method Assume that Wilson's, a department store in Massachusetts, allocates the costs of the Personnel and Payroll departments to three retail sales departments, Housewares, Clothing, and Toys. In addition to providing services to the operating departments, Personnel and Payroll provide services to each other. Wilson's allocates Personnel Department costs on the basis of the number of employees and Payroll Department costs on the basis of gross payroll. Cost and allocation information for June is as follows:
