Answer 1

Answer:

$480,000

Explanation:

The computation of the total manufacturing costs for Job No. 305 is shown below:

= Direct material cost + direct labor cost + manufacturing overhead cost

where,

Direct material cost = $180,000

Direct labor cost is

= $200,000 ÷ 200% × 100%

= $100,000

And, the manufacturing overhead cost is $200,000

So, the total manufacturing overhead is

= $180,000 + $100,000 + $200,000

= $480,000
