Craft Solutions designs Web pages for clients in the education sector. The company's job-costing system has a single direct cost category (Web-designing labor) and a single indirect cost pool composed of all overhead costs. Overhead costs are allocated to individual jobs based on direct labor-hours. The company employs six Web designers.

Craft Solutions should choose a job-costing system based on the direct cost information available to them. If Craft Solutions knows direct costs as the jobs are being done, I would recommend Craft Solutions use normal costing over actual costing by calculating a budgeted indirect cost rate to cost jobs. Normal costing enables Craft Solutions to use the budgeted indirect cost rate calculated at the beginning of the year to estimate the cost of a job as soon as the job is completed. If Craft Solutions does not know direct costs as the jobs are being completed, I would recommend that Craft Solutions use the variation of normal costing that calculates a budgeted direct cost rate. This would allow Craft Solutions to estimate costs on a more-timely hanin Craft Solutions designs Web pages for clients in the education sector.
