Case Construction Company, a three-year-old business, provides contracting and construction services to a variety of clients. Given that each construction job is different from any other, company accountant Susan Kalagnanam decided that it was best to use a job-order costing system to allocate costs to the different jobs. She decided to use construction labour-hours as the basis for overhead allocation. In December 2020, she estimated the following amounts for the year 2021:

Direct materials

$

13,395,200

Construction labour

8,165,000

Overhead

8,847,700

Construction labour-hours

Kalagnanam recorded the following for the first quarter of 2021 for the three jobs that the company started and completed during the quarter:

School

Residential

Cinema

Direct materials

753,500

$

904,200

$

1,356,300

Construction labour-hours

36,800

16,100
