Brazilia Corporation needed a warehouse and maintenance facility on its company site, which already housed three manufacturing/ storage facilities and the company head office. The lowest outside bid for the facility was $ 6,400,000. Brazilia believed that it could successfully construct the facility and have more control over the construction process. Accordingly, it began construction on company- owned land in 20X5. The facility was completed in 20X6. Costs related to the project have been accumulated in one account, “manufacturing facility”:

Materials......................... $ 2,132,400
Subcontracted work ( primarily electrical and plumbing) ....... 691,800
Direct labour; plant workers assigned to construction tasks ....... 911,600
Direct labour; construction workers hired specifically for this project ....247,200
Plant foreman used for construction supervision; salary and benefits ..... 69,800
Direct labour; plant maintenance workers assigned to construction tasks. 106,400
Engineering and architectural services ............... 433,400

Additional information:
a. Overhead is assigned in the plant to cover supplies used, electricity, occupation costs, maintenance, and so on in the production environment at a rate of $ 0.57 for every dollar of direct plant labour. This is reasonable for the warehouse project.
b. A loan was negotiated to cover the cash low needed for construction. Interest of $ 151,800 was paid on this loan.
c. Of the $ 911,600 of plant workers’ time assigned to construction tasks, 70%, or $ 638,120, relates to time that would otherwise have been idle.
d. T he administrative office handled the planning and paperwork related to the construction. The staff worked full- time on this for approximately six months, representing salary and benefit costs of $ 114,000.
e. he executive team ( chief executive officer and chief financial officer of the company, primarily) devoted approximately 10% of their time to this project during construction. The compensation package for these two individuals was $ 640,000 for this period.

2. What, if anything, would change in your answer if the outside bid on this project had been $ 4,800,000? Explain.
