210				30			140			840			—			1,010
211				60			—			55			—			115
Indirect				—			—			—		$	750			750
	Total costs														$	4,360

An analysis of the payroll records revealed the following distribution for labour costs:

Job			207			208			209			210			211			Other			Total
Direct labour			$	1,300		$	1,200		$	700		$	1,600		$	400			—		$	5,200
Indirect labour				—			—			—			—			—		$	2,200			2,200
	Total costs																				$	7,400

Other overhead costs (consisting of rent, amortization, taxes, insurance, utilities, etc.) amounted to $3,600. At the beginning of the period, management anticipated that overhead costs would be $6,400 and total direct labour would amount to $5,000. Overhead is allocated on the basis of direct labour dollars.

Jobs 207 through 210 were finished during the month; Job 211 is still in process. Jobs 207 through 209 were picked up and paid for by customers. Job 210 is still on the lot, waiting to be picked up.
