Allocating Shared Service Costs (Corporate Overhead)

Determines how to charge back HR, IT, and Finance costs to operating business units.

Design an overhead allocation model for Corporate Shared Services ({total_corporate_cost}). Allocate these costs to the {number_of_bus} Business Units using a 'Fair Share' logic. Suggest appropriate drivers: {driver_hr} for HR, {driver_it} for IT, and {driver_finance} for Finance. Discuss the 'death spiral' risk of allocation.
