Elizabeth Flanigan and Associates is an engineering and design
firm that specializes in developing plans for recycling
plants for municipalities. The firm uses a job costing system to
accumulate the cost associated with each design project.
Flanigan employs three levels of employees: senior engineers,
associate engineers and clerical staff. The salary cost of
the senior engineers and the associate engineers is assigned to
each project as direct labor. The salary cost of the
clerical staff is included in overhead along with the cost of
engineering supplies, automobile travel and equipment
depreciation. The cost of airline travel, motels, building permits
and fees from other consultants is charged to each
project as direct materials. Overhead is applied to projects using
a predetermined overhead rate based on total
engineering hours. The rate for 202x is $6 per hour.
The six different salary levels for 202x for the employees of
Elizabeth Flanigan and Associates are listed below. The
hourly rate is determined by dividing the yearly salary by 2,000
hours per year.
The billings that are sent to the municipalities for engineering
services utilize cost-plus billing. Typically the total costs
accumulated for a project (direct materials, direct labor and
overhead) are multiplied by 150% to determine the amount
of the billing. The difference between the billed amount and the
accumulated cost is the “plus” on cost plus which also
represents profit.
During March 202x Flanigan accumulated the following information
