Examples of Contract Costing A bridge is needed over a river at a particular site, and a client gives a contractor this assignment. A contractor opens separate accounts for each contract and numbers them separately to identify any profit or loss made at each contract.
Examples: Direct Labor Costs: Wages of employees working directly on the contract. Direct Materials: Supplies used specifically for the contract. Allocated Costs: Costs of contract management, supervision, and depreciation of equipment used for the contract.
