Foster Enterprises makes custom-order draperies. In late 2013, when managers prepared the budget for 2014, they estimated that manufacturing overhead would total $113,750.

    During March and April of 2014, employees worked on only three jobs. Relevant information for each job follows:

  Direct labor cost     $9,947     $22,929     $2,846  
  Direct labor hours     1,083     2,594     405
