The average budgeted total compensation per professional for 2022 is $97,500. Each professional is budgeted to have 1,250 billable hours to clients in 2022. Lyon is a highly respected firm, and all professionals work for clients to their maximum 1,250 billable hours available. All professional labour costs are included in a single direct cost category and are traced to jobs on a per-hour basis. All costs of Lyon & Partners other than professional labour costs are included in a single indirect cost pool (legal support) and are allocated to jobs using professional labour hours as the allocation base. The budgeted level of indirect costs in 2022 is $1,750,000. The cost estimates for the Richardson Inc. job, which requires 110 budgeted hours of professional labour, and for the Punch Inc. job, which requires 165 budgeted hours of professional labour, are as follows: Richardson Punch Direct costs $ 8,580 $ 7,700 12,870 11,550 Indirect costs $ 16.280 $ 24.420 Lyon & Partners is a law firm specializing in labour relations and employee-related work.
