Question

Job A3B was ordered by a customer on September 25. During the month of September, Jaycee Corporation requisitioned $1,500 of direct materials and used $3,000 of direct labor. The job was not finished by the end of September, but needed an additional $2,000 of direct materials and additional direct labor of $5,500 to finish the job in October. The company applies overhead at the end of each month at a rate of 200% of the direct labor cost incurred. What is the total cost of the job when it is completed in October?

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is: $29,000

Explanation:

To calculate Job A3B's costs during September we must add direct materials plus 3 times direct labor:

September costs = direct materials + (direct labor x 3) = $1,500 + $9,000

September costs = $10,500

We do the same for October:

October costs: direct materials + (direct labor x 3) = $2,000 + $16,500

October costs = $18,500

The total cost for Job A3B is: $10,500 + $18,500 = $29,000
