    Braden Brothers Inc is an architecture firm specializing in high-rise buildings. Its job-costing system has a single direct-cost category (architectural
    labor) and a single indirect-cost pool which contains all costs of supporting the office. Support costs are allocated to individual jobs using architectural
    labor-hours. Braden Brothers employs 15 architects.

    Braden Brothers Inc.

    Budget for 2010

    Architect labor cost $2880000

    Office support costs $1728000

    Architect labor-hours billed to clients 32000 hours

    Actual results for 2010

    Office support costs $1729500

    Architect labor hours billed to clients 34590 hours

    Actual architect labor cost rate $92 per hour

    Compute the direct-cost rate and the indirect-cost rate per architectural labor-hour for 2010 under (a) actual costing (b) normal costing and (c) the
    variation from normal costing that uses budgeted rates for direct costs.

    How do I find direct-cost rate for this question? I am probably overthinking this problem but would really appreciate any help.
