Square footage	1,100	—		5,400	13,700

Resources Department are allocated on the basis of number of employees, and the costs of General Factory are allocated on the basis of square footage. Now assume that Valron Company uses the sequential method to allocate support department costs. The support departments are ranked in order of highest cost to lowest cost.

Required:

1. Calculate the allocation ratios (rounded to four significant digits) for the four departments using the sequential method. If an amount is zero, enter "0". Use the rounded values for subsequent calculations.

	Proportion of Driver Used by
	Human Resources	General Factory	Fabricating	Assembly
Human Resources	fill in the blank 1	fill in the blank 2	fill in the blank 3	fill in the blank 4
General Factory	fill in the blank 5	fill in the blank 6	fill in the blank 7	fill in the blank 8

2. Using the sequential method, allocate the costs of the Human Resources and General Factory departments to the Fabricating and Assembly departments. If an amount is zero, enter"0". Round your answers to the nearest dollar.
