What is the price of Job 93?

Partway though the year, Jagjit bought a bulldozer to handle larger jobs. The bulldozer cost $38,000 and is needed for larger commercial jobs. Smaller residential jobs can still be done with the smaller bobcat tractor. How could the bulldozer's cost be applied to only those jobs that need the larger equipment?
