Which of the following is true regarding the total service department cost allocated by the three recognized allocation method?

Group of answer choices

The answer will depend on how many service departments are involved in supporting operating departments.

There is no difference among the three methods in terms of total cost being allocated to operating departments.

The step method results in more total cost being allocated to operating departments than the direct method as it recognizes at least some portion of interactions among the support departments.

The reciprocal method results in the highest amount of total cost being allocated to operating departments as it recognizes all possible interactions among the support departments prior to allocation.
