This is easy. It is done from menu Allocate -> Distribute Values (Ctrl+Alt+D). Proportional factors will be used later on by allocation process

Allocation process is created to address complex rules using menu Create -> Process -> Allocation. The process consists of two steps:
In first step allocates all expenses excluding Tobacco & Alcohol and RRSP are allocated between all family members (parents and children) using Seed proportional factor
In second step, Tobacco & Alcohol and RRSP are allocated between parents using Seed proportional factor
