Explanation / Answer

Total HR cost = $78,000 + 8.333% of Info Systems cost

Total Info Systems cost = $236,000 + 23.404% of HR cost

Assume, Total HR cost to be A

Assume Total Info Systems cost to be B

Total HR cost = A = 78,000 + 8.333% of B

Total HR cost = A = 78,000 + 8.333% (236,000 + 23.404% of A)

Total Info Systems cost = B = 236,000 + 23.404% of A

Total Info Systems cost = B = 236,000 + 23.404% of (78,000 + 8.33% of B)

Solving the equations,

A = 78,000 + 8.333% x (236,000 + 23.404% of A)

A = 78,000 + 19,667 + 0.0195A

0.981A = 97,667

A = 97,667/76.596= $99,608

Hence, total cost of HR = A = $99,608

Total cost of Info Systems = B = 236,000 + 23.404% of 99,608

B = 236,000 + 23,312 = $259,312
