Problem 13.24 Question Help V Forrester and Cohen is a small accounting firm, managed by Joseph Cohen since the retirement in December of his partner Brad Forrester. Cohen and his 4 CPAs together bill 775 hours per month. When Cohen or another accountant bills more than 155 hours per month, he or she gets an additional "overtime" pay of $62.00 for each of the extra hours: This is above and beyond the $5,100 salary each draws during the month. (Cohen draws the same base pay as his employees.) Cohen strongly discourages any CPA from working (billing) more than 250 hours in any given month. The demand for billable hours for the firm over the next 6 months is estimated below: Month Estimate of Billable Hours Jan. 671 Feb. 561 Mar. 1,111 Apr. 1,353 May 726 Jun 627 Cohen has an agreement with Forrester, his former partner, to help out during the busy tax season, up to 250 hours in any given month if needed, for an hourly fee of $125.
