Answer 1

Answer:

Total cost= $9395

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

The company has two departments: Assembly and Sanding.

The Assembly Department:

Departmental overhead rate of $35 per machine hour.

The Sanding Department:

Departmental overhead rate of $20 per direct labor hour.

Job 603:

Direct labor hours used 85

Machine hours used 107

The cost of direct labor is $30 per hour

Direct materials used= $1,400.

Total cost= direct materials + direct labor + manufacturing overhead

Total cost= 1400 + $30*85 + [(107*$35)+(85*$20)]

Total cost= 1400 + 2550 + 5445

Total cost= $9395
