Hobart, Evans, and Nix is a small law firm that contains 10 partners and 12 support persons. The firm employs a job-order costing system to accumulate costs chargeable to each client, and it is organized into two departments - the Research and Documents Department and the Litigation Department. The firm uses predetermined overhead rates to charge the costs of these departments to its clients. At the beginning of the year, the firm's management made the following estimates for the year:

	Department
	Research and Documents	Litigation
Research-hours	26,000
Direct attorney-hours	9,900	19,600
Legal forms and supplies	17,600	5,600
Direct lawyer cost	495,000	989,800
Departmental overhead cost	520,000	494,900

The predetermined overhead rate in the Research and Documents Department is based on research-hours, and the rate in the Litigation Department is based on direct lawyer cost.

The costs charged to each client are made up of three elements: legal forms and supplies used, direct lawyer costs incurred, and an applied amount of overhead from each department in which work is performed on the case.
