Jean and Tom Perritz own and manage Happy Home Helpers, Inc. (HHH), a house-cleaning service. Each cleaning (cleaning one house one time) takes a team of three house cleaners about 1.5 hours. On average, HHH completes about 15,000 cleanings per year. The following total costs are associated with the total cleanings:
Direct materials ..... ?
Direct labor ........$472,500
Variable overhead ..... 15,000
Fixed overhead..... 18,000
Next year, HHH expects to purchase $25,600 of direct materials. Projected beginning and ending inventories for direct materials are as follows:
Direct Materials Inventory
Beginning.... $4,000
Ending ....... 2,600
There is no work-in-process inventory and no finished goods inventory; in other words, a cleaning is started and completed on the same day. HHH expects to sell 15,000 cleanings at a price of $45 each next year. Total selling expense is projected at $22,000, and total administrative expense is projected at $53,000.
Required:
