If, Material= 60,000; Labor= 90,000; Direct Job Expense = 13,050; Overhead = 10% and Profit= 22%;
What is the final bid?
$ 215,226.00
Total Cost = (Material + Labor + Direct Job Expense) + Overhead (Material + Labor + Direct Job Expense) + Profit (Material + Labor + Direct Job Expense)
Total Cost = (60,000 + 90,000 + 13,050) + 10% (60,000 + 90,000 + 13,050) + 22% (60,000 + 90,000 + 13,050)
Total Cost = $215,226.00
