Winder, Knotter, and Nale is a small law firm that has 10 partners and 10 support people. The firm employs a job-order costing system to accumulate costs chargeable to each client, and it is organized into two departmentsthe 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 current year, the firms management made the following estimates for the year:

Direct lawyer cost	$	470,000		$	900,000
