C) $21,000. D) $25,200. B is correct.Page 3 THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION APPLIES TO THE QUESTION 5 BELOW. Alfred, owner of Hi-Tech Fiberglass Fabricators Inc. is interested in using the reciprocal allocation method. The following data from operations were collected for analysis: Budgeted manufacturing overhead costs: Plant Maintenance PM (Support Dept) $350,000 Data Processing DP (Support Dept) $75,000 Machining M (Operating Dept) $225,000 Capping C (Operating Dept) $125,000 Services furnished: By Plant Maintenance (budgeted labor-hours): to Data Processing 3,500 to Machining 5,000 to Capping 8,200 By Data Processing (budgeted computer time): to Plant Maintenance 600 to Machining 3,500 to Capping 600 5. What is the complete reciprocated cost of the Plant Maintenance Department? A $393,750 B $369,459 C $365,000 D $375,773 B is correct. PM = $350,000 + (600/4700)DP DP = $75,000 + (3500/16700)PM PM = $350,000 + .12766($75,000 + .209581PM) PM = $350,000 + $9,574.47 + .026755PM PM - .026755PM = $359,574.47 0.973245PM = $359,574.47 PM = $359,574.47 / 0.973245 PM =
