Answer 1

Answer:

Winter Company's total manufacturing costs for the year was $850,000

Explanation:

Manufacturing cost is the cost used to manufacture a product, both direct and indirect cost incurred in manufacturing process are included. It is the total value of material cost, labor cost and overhead cost.

Direct Material Cost = $500,000

Manufacturing overhead applied = $150,000

As we know Manufacturing overhead applied was 75% of direct Labor cost.

Direct Labor cost  = Manufacturing overhead applied / 75%

Direct Labor cost  = 150,000 / 75% = $200,000

Total Manufacturing Cost = $500,000 + $200,000 + $150,000 = $850,000
