e. A customer has asked O’Leary to bid on a job to be completed in year 4. O’Leary estimates that the job will require about $93,700 in direct materials and 5,120 direct labor-hours. Because of the economy, O’Leary expects demand for its 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?
