Direct Materials Direct Labor
City of X (name kept confidential) $1,000 $4,000
Missouri River Project 800 3,200

In addition, overhead is applied to these jobs at the rate of 100 percent of direct labor costs.

As of June 1, Chu had incurred direct materials costs as sown in table, mostly for laboratory testing materials.

During June, Chu completed both jobs and recorded them as Cost of Goods Sold.
The City of X job required no more direct materials in June but it did require $1,200 of direct labor to complete. The Missouri River Project job required $400 of direct materials and $2,000 of direct labor to complete.
