E1-8B Sylvia Ortiz, the bookkeeper for Pare, Ash, and Tocy, a political

consulting firm, has recently completed a managerial accounting course at her local college. One of the topics covered in the course was the cost of goods manufactured schedule. Sylvia wondered if such a schedule could be prepared for her firm. She realized that, as a serviceoriented company, it would have no Work-in-Process inventory to consider. Listed below are the costs the firm incurred for the month ended August 31, 2014. Supplies used on consulting contracts $ 3,700 Supplies used in the administrative offices 1,500 Depreciation on equipment used for contract work 900 Depreciation used on administrative office equipment 1,050 Salaries of professionals working on contracts 15,600 Salaries of administrative office personnel 7,700 Janitorial services for professional offices 300 Janitorial services for administrative offices 500 Insurance on contract operations 800 Insurance on administrative operations 900 Utilities for contract operations 1,900 Utilities for administrative offices 1,300 Instructions (a) Prepare schedule of cost of contract services provided (similar to a cost of goods manufactured schedule) for the month.
