Question

Simpson Company applies overhead on the basis of 200% of direct labor cost. Job No. 305 is charged with $180,000 of direct materials costs and $200,000 of manufacturing overhead. The total manufacturing costs for Job No. 305 is:

Answer 1

$480,000

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the total manufacturing costs for Job No. 305 is shown below:

= Direct material cost + direct labor cost + manufacturing overhead cost

where,

Direct material cost = $180,000

Direct labor cost is

= $200,000 ÷ 200% × 100%

= $100,000

And, the manufacturing overhead cost is $200,000

So, the total manufacturing overhead is

= $180,000 + $100,000 + $200,000

= $480,000
