Answer 1

Answer:

Price= $85263,6

Explanation:

We need to calculate the price paid by the City of Hamptonville for playground equipment.

We know the following information:

Direct material= $13000

Direct labor= 160hours*$22hour= $3520

Manufacturing overhead: it is assigned on labor hours.

We need to calculate the value of manufacturing overhead.

Labor hours presupuested= $41800/$22hour= 1900hours

$/hour of manufacturing overhead= $627000/1900hours= $330

Manufacturing overhead Job 309= 330*160hours= $52800

Manufacturing cost Job 309= direct material + direct labor + Manufacturing overhead= 13000 + 3520 + 52800= $69320

Price=69320*1.23= $85263,6
