Marin Company produces two software products (Cloud-X and Cloud-Y) in two separate departments (A and B). These products are highly regarded network maintenance programs. Cloud-X is used for small networks and Cloud-Y is used for large networks. Marin is known for the quality of its products and its ability to meet dates promised for software upgrades.

Department A produces Cloud-X, and department B produces Cloud-Y. The production departments are supported by two support departments, systems design and programming services. The sources and uses of the support department time are summarized as follows:

From	To				Total Labor Hours
	Design	Programming	Dept A	Dept B
Design	-	5,000	1,000	9,000	15,000
Programming	400	-	600	1,000	2,000

The costs in the two service departments are as follows:

	Design				Programming
Labor and materials (all variable)	$	65,000			$	45,000
Depreciation and other fixed costs		49,000				4,000
Total	$	114,000			$	49,000

Required:

1. Determine the total support costs allocated to each of the producing departments using (a) the direct method, (b) the step method (design department goes first), and (c) the reciprocal method? (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answer to nearest whole dollar amount.)

		Department A	Department B	Total
a.	Direct Method			$0
b.	Step Method (Design Department goes first)			$0
c.	The Reciprocal Method (using Solver)			$0

**PLEASE SHOW ALL WORK AND ALL CALCULATIONS. I REALLY NEED TO UNDERSTAND HOW TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM. THANK YOU!**
