b. $135,000
c. $70,000
d. $10,000

Answer 1

Answer:

b. $135,000  

Explanation:

amount debited to WIP = direct labor cost*overhead rate

                                       = $450,000*30%

                                       = $135,000

Therefore, at $135,000 was the amount debited to Work in Process for factory overhead in August, assuming a factory overhead rate of 30% of direct labor costs.
