Winter Manufacturing has four categories of overhead: Maintenance 275,000; Materials handling 125,000; Setups 30,000 and Inspection 105,000. The company has been asked to submit a bid for a proposed job. The plant manager feels that obtaining this job would result in new business in future years. Usually bids are based upon full manufacturing cost plus 10 percent. Estimates for the proposed job are as follows: Direct materials 15,000; Direct labour (8,000 hours) 12,000; Number of material moves 100; Number of inspections 120; Number of setups 24; Number of machine hours 4,000.
