O'Leary prorates any over-the-top or underapplied overhead to Cost of Goods Sold, Finished Goods Inventory, and Work-in-Progress Inventory. How much is the allocation for Finished Goods Inventory? e. A customoer has asked O'Leary to bid on a job to be completed in year 4. O'Leary estimates that the job will require about $92500 in direct materials and 5000 direct labor-hours. Because of the economy, O'Leary expects demand for their services to be low in year 4, and the CEO wants to bid aggressively, but does not want to lose any money on the project. O'Leary estimates that there would be virtually no sales or administrative costs associated with this job. What is the minimum amount O'Leary can bid on the job and still not incur a loss?

d. O'Leary prorates any over-the-top or underapplied overhead to Cost of Goods Sold, Finished Goods Inventory, and Work-in-Progress Inventory. How much is the allocation for Finished Goods Inventory?

e. A customoer has asked O'Leary to bid on a job to be completed in year 4. O'Leary estimates that the job will require about $92500 in direct materials and 5000 direct labor-hours. Because of the economy, O'Leary expects demand for their services to be low in year 4, and the CEO wants to bid aggressively, but does not want to lose any money on the project. O'Leary estimates that there would be virtually no sales or administrative costs associated with this job. What is the minimum amount O'Leary can bid on the job and still not incur a loss?

O'Leary Corporation manufactures special purpose portable structures (huts, mobile of-
fices, and so on) for use at construction sites. It only builds to order (each unit is built
to customer specifications). O'Leary uses a normal job costing system. Direct labor at
O'Leary is paid $17 per hour, but the employees are not paid if they are not working on
jobs. Manufacturing overhead is assigned to jobs by a predetermined rate on the basis
of direct labor-hours. The company incurred manufacturing overhead costs during two
recent years (adjusted for price-level changes using current prices and wage rates) as
follows:
Year 1
