MNC provides customized engineering services to large manufacturing companies and uses a job-order costing system. The system provided the following information:

MNC purchases materials as needed and consumes them during the accounting period. Therefore, it does not need to maintain a materials inventory account. The payroll amount includes salaries/wages paid to professional (direct) labour as well as indirect labour. Overhead is allocated to jobs using a predetermined overhead allocation rate based on professional labour costs computed at the beginning of the year. For 2016, MNC estimated its professional labour and overhead amounts to be $3.2 million and $768,000 respectively.
