Q 2 - Heritage Gardens provides complete garden design and landscaping services. The company uses a job-order costing system to track the costs of its landscaping projects. The table below provides data concerning the three landscaping projects that were in progress during May. There was no work in process at the beginning of May.

  Project
  Williams Chandler Nguyen
Designer-hours   360     240     280  
Direct materials $ 6,400   $ 3,400   $ 5,200  
Direct labor $ 4,000   $ 2,600   $ 3,100  

 

Actual overhead costs were $44,000 for May. Overhead costs are applied to projects on the basis of designer-hours because most of the overhead is related to the costs of the garden design studio. The predetermined overhead rate is $61 per designer-hour. The Williams and Chandler projects were completed in May; the Nguyen project was not completed by the end of the month. No other jobs were in process during May.
