Thornton Construction Company is a building contractor specializing in small commercial buildings. The company has the opportunity to accept one of two jobs; it cannot accept both because they must be performed at the same time and Thornton does not have the necessary labor force for both jobs. Indeed, it will be necessary to hire a new supervisor if either job is accepted. Furthermore, additional insurance will be required if either job is accepted. The revenue and costs associated with each job follow.

Unit-level overhead		19,900		13,600

Rental equipment costs		26,200		27,800
Depreciation on tools (zero market value)		20,800		20,800
Allocated portion of company-wide facility-sustaining costs		12,300		9,800
