Answer: $16,000

Explanation:

The Outsider's Point of View is also known as The OPPORTUNITY COST APPROACH.

This as you may know, refers to the cost associated with choosing an alternative over others.

In this scenario, the company owns the 5 year old turret lathe so the Opportunity Cost must be the cost of still owning it.

Since this is the case then the first cost of owning the Lathe is simply the Market Value of the Lathe at the moment.

This is $16,000.

$16,000 therefore is the First Cost of keeping the Old Lathe

Answer:

The question is incomplete; the complete question is given below:

                                                                  $

Direct materials             15,000.00

Direct labor                       25,000.00

Factory depreciation expense         45,000.00

Factory utilities expense          2,000.00

Payroll staff's salary    15,000.00

Prime cost= $40,000,  Conversion cost= $72,000

Explanation:

Prime cost: It is the summation of all direct costs. Direct costs are costs that are incurred directly for a particular product, and therefore can be traced to it.

Examples of direct costs include; direct material costs, direct labour cost and direct expense

Direct materials cost: the costs of all materials used directly to manufacture a product. <em>For example, cocoa powder, vanilla used in making chocolate</em>. <em>Every other materials costs are indirect material costs</em>

Direct labor cost: the cost of the labor hours of workers actively involved in the production of a product. For example, the cost of the total hours paid to workers for packing the chocolates into cartons. <em>Every other labor costs are indirect labor costs</em>

Prime cost = Direct material cost+ Direct labour cost  + Direct expense

Prime cost = $15,000 + $25,000= $40,000

Conversion cost = The sum of direct labour costs  and <u>manufacturing overheads</u>

Conversion cost= $25,000 + $45,000 + $2000= $72,000

Note that payroll staff cost was excluded because payroll function is an administrative activitiy not manufacturing.
