JLR Enterprises provides consulting services throughout California and uses job-order costing system to accumulate the cost of client projects. Traceable costs are charged directly to individual clients; in contrast, other costs incurred by JLR, but not identifiable with specific clients, are charged to jobs using a predetermined overhead application rate. Clients are billed for directly chargeable costs, overhead and markup. JLR's director of cost management, Brent Dean, anticipates the following costs for the upcoming year. Cost Percentage of Cost Directly Traceable to ClientsProfessional staff salaries ………………………….$2,500,000 ………………………………80%Administrative support staff ………………………. 300,000 ……………………………… 60%Travel ……………………………………………… 250,000 ………………………… 90%Photocopying ………………………………………….50,000 ……………………………… 90%Other operating costs ………………………………. 100,000 ……………………………… 50%Total ……………………………………………… $3,200,000 …………………The firm’s partners desire to make a $640,000 profit for the firm and plan to add a percentage markup on total cost to achieve that figure.
