Question

Direct materials and direct labor of a company total $8300000. If manufacturing overhead is $4150000, what is direct labor cost

Answer 1

The direct labor cost cannot be ascertained from the information given in the question

Step-by-step explanation:

Direct materials+Direct labor cost= $8300000

In order to determine the labor cost of the $8300000, we need a clue as to the percentage of the labor cost in the total of $8300000 or the portion of $8300000 that belongs to direct materials.

Since such a hint is missing,we can simply guess, costs incurred cannot be shared out on a basis that has no relationship with reality,hence, the correct answer is that the direct labor cost cannot be determined based on details provided.
