Question:
Assume Carolina’s CPA Group uses a traditional costing technique to allocate overhead costs to customers for evaluating profitability. Total annual budgeted overhead costs are estimated at $750,000. Direct labor dollars were selected as the most appropriate cost driver as consulting operations are labor-intensive. Assume total budgeted direct labor costs are estimated at $500,000 (auditing services budgeted direct labor costs, $200,000 and tax services budgeted direct labor costs, $300,000). How much overhead would be budgeted to auditing services?
