Ch08 Homework - PDR Question 8 of 10 < > Show Attempt History 0.33/1 Current Attempt in Progress Gary was looking back at the profitability of a few jobs from the prior year, wondering if more profit could have been generated. The executive team of this custom manufacturing shop tries to achieve gross margins near 50% for all of its projects. Each completed job that Gary examined was profitable when overhead costs were determined using the company's actual costing system.
