Foster Enterprises makes custom-order draperies. In late 2009, when managers prepared the budget for 2010, they estimated that manufacturing overhead would total $100,000. Because the production process is labor intensive, overhead is allocated to jobs based on direct labor hours. Managers expected total direct labor hours to amount to 400,000 hours. During March and April of 2010, employees worked on only three jobs. Relevant information for each job follows:
