Answer 1

Answer:

$2,527.5

Explanation:

Indirect labor hours:

= Estimated total indirect costs ÷ Direct labor hours per year

= $222,000 ÷ 24,000

= $9.25

Total job​ cost:

= Direct labor cost  + Indirect labor cost

= (direct labor rate per hour × Number of direct labor hours) + (Number of direct labor hours × Indirect labor rate per hour)

= ($75 × 30) + (30 × $9.25)

= $2,250 + $277.5

= $2,527.5
