ProWorks is a website design and consulting firm based in Michigan. The firm uses a job cost system in which each client is a different job. Proworks traces direct labor, software licensing costs, and travel costs directly to each job (client). It divides overhead into two cost pools, "Indirect Labor" and "Office Overhead." It allocates Indirect Labor (support staff salaries) to jobs based on software licensing costs. It allocates Office Overhead (all other overheads) to jobs based on direct labor hours. At the beginning of 2016, managing partner Mark Milici prepared the following estimates:

Direct labor hours $14,000 hours

Direct labor costs $1,400,000

Software licensing costs $50,000

Travel costs $80,000

Support staff salaries $200,000

Computer leases $50,000

Office supplies $30,000

Office rent $60,000

In January, 2016, ProWorks served three clients. Records for the clients appear here:

1) Write a business memo about cost allocation issues. In your analysis, explain the reasons why ProWork managers should assign all costs to jobs. Managers also want to know the factors they should consider when setting prices. If managers want to earn profits equal to 20% of sales revenue, what price should the company charge each client?
