Question
Vista Landscaping provides garden design and installation services for its clients. The company uses a job-order costing system to track the costs of its landscaping projects. The table below provides data concerning the three landscaping projects that were in progress during April. There was no work in process at the beginning of April.Project
Harris Chan James
Designer-hours 199 81 120
Direct materials $4,800 $1,700 $3,700
Direct labor $2,400 $1,100 $1,600
Actual overhead costs were $15,600 for April. Overhead costs are applied to projects on the basis of designer-hours because most of the overhead is related to the costs of the garden design studio. The predetermined overhead rate is $46 per designer-hour. The Harris and Chan projects were completed in April; the James project was not completed by the end of the month.
