ASSIGNME 5-32 Job costing with multiple direct-cost categories, multiple indirect-cost pools, law firm Icontinuation of 530 and 5-31), Bradley has two classifications of professional staff: partners and associates. Harrington asks his assistant to examine the relative use of partners and associates on the recent Campa Coal and St. Edith's jobs. The Campa job used 50 partner-hours and 100 assaciate-hours. The St Edith's job used 75 partner-hours and 25 associate-hours. Therefore, totals of the two jobs together were 125 partner hours and 125 associate-hours. Harrington decides to examine how using separate direct-cost rates for partners and associates and using separate indirect-cost pools for partners and associates would have affected the costs of the Campa and St. Edith's jobs. Indirect costs in each indirect-cost pool would be allocated on the basis of total hours of that category ofprofessional labor From the total indirect cost-pool of S10,000, $6,000 is attributable to the activities of partners and SA,000 is attributable to the activities of associates. The rates per category of professional labor are as follows: Category of Professional Labor Direct Cost per Hour Indirect cost per Hour Partner $100 $6,000 125 hours $48 Associate $60 SA,000 125 hours $32 1. Compute the costs of the campa and St. Edith's cases using Bradley's further refined system, with multiple direct-cost categories and multiple indirect-cost pools
