Answer:

1. Hourly Direct Labor Cost rate = Direct Labor cost / Direct Labor hours

Hourly Direct Labor Cost rate = 2,500,000 / 25,000

Hourly Direct Labor Cost rate = $100 per hour

Computation of Indirect cost

Office Rent                     $320,000

Support staff salaries    $1,260,000

Utilities                           $420,000

Total Indirect Costs      $2,000,000

Predetermined indirect cost allocation rate = = Total Estimated indirect cost / Total estimated direct labor cost  = 2,000,000 / 2,500,000  = 80% of Direct Cost

2.  Direct Labor            $25,000  (250 * 100)

Indirect Cost               $20,000  (25,000 * 80%)

Total Predicted cost   $45,000

3. Predicted cost                   $45,000

Desired Profit                       $22,500 (50% of $45,000)

Required Service revenue  $67,500
