Speedy's overhead costs include various items, such as the shop manager's salary, depreciation of equipment, utilities, insurance, and magazine subscriptions and refreshments for the waiting room. 
The company applies all of its overhead costs to jobs based on direct labor-hours. At the beginning of the year, it made the following estimates:
