Support costs are allocated using predetermined overhead rates computed at the beginning of the year and are based on direct professional labour costs. Senior management recently changed its policy of allocating overhead costs. Separate rates are computed for the two types of support costs based on the corresponding direct professional labour costs. The company uses a normal costing system to track costs. At the beginning of the third quarter in 2014, job 2014Q2-5 was unfinished. The following amounts were traced to it: direct materials, $22,460; professional labour (consulting), $180,520. During the third quarter, three new jobs were started: 2014Q3 1, 2014Q3-2, and 2014Q3-3. The following amounts were incurred during the quarter:
