Job 5-1, which was sold during year 5, had actual direct labor costs of $90,000. Job 5-2, which was completed but not sold at the end of the year, had actual direct labor costs of $140,000. Job 5-3, which is still in work-in-process inventory, had actual direct labor costs of $80,000. The actual manufacturing overhead for year 5 was $470,000.
