Traceable costs are charged directly to client projects; nontraceable costs, on the other hand, are treated as firm overhead and charged to projects by using a predetermined overhead application rate. Boxworth had one project in process at year-end: an arena that was being designed for Charlotte County. Costs directly chargeable to this project were: Required: A.

ADF anticipates the following costs for the upcoming year: ADF's partners desire to make a $480,000 profit for the firm and plan to add a percentage markup on total cost to achieve that figure. On May 14, ADF completed work on a project for Lawrence Manufacturing.
