Custom Auto Parts manufactures parts to order for antique cars. Custom Auto Parts makes everything from fenders to engine blocks. Each customer order is treated as a job. The company currently has two jobs, Job 9823 and Job 9824, that are complete, although overhead has not yet been applied. The company wants to know what each jobs cost would be under alternative overhead allocation rates based on: (1) direct labor cost, (2) direct labor hours, and (3) machine hours. Estimates for this year are as follows:

Direct labor cost		$240,000
Direct labor hours		26,000
Machine hours		6,500
Overhead costs		$156,000
