Continent Construction Company is a building contractor specializing in small commercial buildings. The company has the opportunity to accept one of two jobs; it cannot accept both because they must be performed at the same time and Continent does not have the necessary labor force for both jobs. Indeed, it will be necessary to hire a new supervisor if either job is accepted. Furthermore, additional insurance will be required if either job is accepted. The revenue and costs associated with each job follow:

Cost Category	Job A			Job B
Contract price	$	820,000		$	770,000
Unit-level materials		247,000			217,000
Unit-level labor		264,000			314,000
Unit-level overhead		37,000			31,000
Supervisors salary		67,000			67,000
Rental equipment costs		23,500			27,500
Depreciation on tools (zero market value)		21,000			21,000
Allocated portion of companywide facility-sustaining costs		10,700			8,700
Insurance cost for job		16,400			16,400
