The first set of data that is shown below is based on estimates from the beginning of the year. The second set of data relates to one particular job completed during the year--Job Bravo.

Machine-hours   32,000   160,000   192,000
 

 

Job Bravo Assembly Fabrication Total
Direct labor-hours 17 9 26
Machine-hours 9 12 21
