Case Construction Company, a three-year-old business, provides contracting and construction services to a variety of clients. Given that each construction job is different from any other, company accountant Susan Kalagnanam decided that it was best to use a job- order costing system to allocate costs to the different jobs. She decided to use construction labour-hours as the basis for overhead allocation. In December 2020, she estimated the following amounts for the year 2021: Direct naterials Conatruction labour Overhead Construetion labour-hours $14,560,000 10,200,000 7,900,000 500,000 Kalagnanam recorded the following for the first quarter of 2021 for the three jobs that the company started and completed during the quarter: School G824,000 $1,034,600 66,400 Residential cinena Direct materials Conatruction labour-hours $1,425,000 18,500 200,רב Required: 1.

Tyler Case, the company's CEO, recently returned from a seminar on activity-based costing and instructed Kalagnanam to consider implementing the new system.
