Although not all clients use A&R for both services, about percent do
& bills audit services batsed on billable hours and advising services at a fixed fee. The cost for audit services is determined by multiplying the billable hours by the quoted employee rates. Staff rates for the following year are $ per hour, and manager rates are $ per hour. The rates are set to meet the competition in the area.
To determine the cost not the price of the job, A&R uses a job costing system. To the employee costs not the billing rates is added an amount for overhead based on the predetermined rate and the billable hours in the job. The predetermined rate is based on expected billable hours.
Total revenue at A&R next year is expected to be $ million.
The two founding partners of A&R are looking at these forecasts for next year and trying to decide whether to drop one of these services. We should probably become more focused, as we sometimes remind our clients."
