of $7,400. Jagjit applies overhead at the rate of $7 per direct
labor hour. Direct labor wages average $17 per hour. Data on August
costs for all jobs are as follows:
During August, Jobs 95 and 96 were started. Job 93 was completed
on August 17, and the client was billed at cost plus 40%. All other
jobs remained in process.

The bulldozer cost $38,700 and is needed for larger commercial
jobs. Smaller residential jobs can still be done with the smaller
bobcat tractor.
Complete the statement below that outlines how the bulldozer’s
cost could be applied to only those jobs that need the larger
equipment.
Create a separate BLANK for the acquisition and
use of the bulldozer. Treat the bulldozer’s depreciation, fuel,
maintenance, etc. as
BLANK. Divide this by the anticipated annual hours of use to
arrive at the BLANK
