This problem continues the Draper Consulting, Inc., situation from Problem 16-35 of Chapter 16. Draper Consulting uses a job order costing system in which each client is a different job. Draper traces direct labor, daily per diem, and travel costs directly to each job. It allocates indirect costs to jobs based on a predetermined indirect cost allocation rate, computed as a percentage of direct labor costs. At the beginning of 2013, the controller prepared the following budget:

Direct labor hours (professional) . . . . . . 5,500 hours

Direct labor costs (professional) . . . . . . . . $990,000

Support staff salaries . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 105,000

Computer leases . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 48,000

Office supplies . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 15,000

Office rent . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 30,000
