Applied (and actual) factory overhead

8,223,454

Beginning work in process

14,550,098

Ending work in process

17,559,000

Satellites are usually constructed to specific customer specifications, and the contract selling price is 125% of cost.

Assuming that the above costs are attributable to several different satellites in various stages of production, how would the cost of direct materials, direct labor, and overhead be tracked to specific jobs? How important is the job costing system in establishing a fair selling price for each satellite?
