Required information

The Personnel Department at Hernandez Bros. is centralized and provides services to the two operating units: Miami and

New York. The Miami unit is the original unit of the company and is well established. The New York unit is new, much like a

start$-$up company. The costs of the Personnel Department are allocated to each unit based on the number of employees in

order to determine unit profitability. The current rate is $$560$ per employee. Data for the fiscal year just ended show the

following.

Required:

a$.$ Compute the cost allocated to each unit using the current allocation system.

b$.$ Livan, the manager of the Miami unit, is unhappy with the allocation from Personnel. He believes that he gets little benefit other than

the occasional hire and termination help. He asks the controller's office to estimate the amount of Personnel Department cost

associated with routine personnel matters $($benefits$,$ and so on$)$ and those associated with hiring employees and assisting with

departing employees $($transitions$).$ The controller responds that if they separated the overhead costs on this basis, the rates would be

$$260$ per employee for routine matters and $$6,075$ for each transition $($each hiring and each departure counts as one transition$).$

Recompute the costs allocated to each unit using the separate rates for routine and transitional matters.
