Cray-Z Consultants provides management accounting advice to not-for-profit firms. It employs three levels of consultants, based on experience and education: partner, senior, and associate. When Cray-Z considers bidding on jobs, it estimates the costs using a set of standardized billing rates. It then adds an estimate for travel, supplies, and so on (referred to as miscellaneous cost ). Next it applies a percentage to the total of consultant cost and miscellaneous cost for general and administrative (G&A) expense. The estimates for each of these elements are shown below:

Partner cost (per hour) $500 Senior cost (per hour) $200 Associate cost (per hour) $90 G&A factor 180%
