Brighton Services repairs locomotive engines. It employs 100 full-time workers at $20 per hour. Despite operating at capacity, last year’s performance was a great disappointment to the managers. In total, 10 jobs were accepted and completed, incurring the following total costs:

Direct materials$1,035,400 Direct labor 4,000,000 Manufacturing overhead 1,040,000

Of the $1,040,000 manufacturing overhead, 30 percent was variable overhead and 70 percent was fixed.

This year, Brighton Services expects to operate at the same activity level as last year, and overhead costs and the wage rate are not expected to change. For the first quarter of this year, Brighton Services completed two jobs and was beginning the third (Job 103). The costs incurred follow:
