The total cost applied to the job is $87,500 when the direct materials are $50,000, the cost of direct labor is $25,000 and the overhead cost is 50 % of direct labor.
<h3>What is meant by total cost?</h3>
Total cost means the combined cost of materials, human labor, and the overheads incurred in the process of production.
Given values:
Cost of direct materials: $50,000
Cost of direct labor: $25,000
Cost of overheads: $12,500 ($25,000 X 50%)
Computation of total job cost:
![\rm Total \rm\ Job \rm\ Cost=\rm\ Cost \rm\ of \rm\ Direct \rm\ Materials+\rm\ Cost \rm\ of \rm\ Direct \rm\ Labor+\rm\ Cost \rm\ of \rm\ Overheads\\\rm Total \rm\ Job \rm\ Cost=\$50,000 + \$25,000 + \$12,500\\\rm Total \rm\ Job \rm\ Cost=\$87,500](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Crm%20Total%20%5Crm%5C%20Job%20%5Crm%5C%20Cost%3D%5Crm%5C%20Cost%20%5Crm%5C%20of%20%5Crm%5C%20Direct%20%5Crm%5C%20Materials%2B%5Crm%5C%20Cost%20%5Crm%5C%20of%20%5Crm%5C%20Direct%20%5Crm%5C%20Labor%2B%5Crm%5C%20Cost%20%5Crm%5C%20of%20%5Crm%5C%20Overheads%5C%5C%5Crm%20Total%20%5Crm%5C%20Job%20%5Crm%5C%20Cost%3D%5C%2450%2C000%20%2B%20%5C%2425%2C000%20%2B%20%5C%2412%2C500%5C%5C%5Crm%20Total%20%5Crm%5C%20Job%20%5Crm%5C%20Cost%3D%5C%2487%2C500)
Therefore, when the direct materials are $50,000, the direct labor is $25,000 and the overhead cost is $12,500, then the total cost of the job is $87,500.
