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.

A dressmaker can sew 400 garments with 100 bolts of fabric and 1,500 hours of labor. Another dressmaker can sew 400 garments wit
faust18 [17]

Answer:

No, because the second method has lower total costs of production.

Explanation:

In a bid to make profits businesses must always compare different processes and choose the cheapest one.

This will eventually reflect in the profitability of the business.

In this instance let's get the cost of each process.

Fabric costs $110 a bolt and labor costs $20 an hour.

The first dress maker can sew 400 garments with 100 bolts of fabric and 1,500 hours of labour

Total cost = (100 bolts * 110) + (1500 * 20)

Total cost = $41,000

For the second dress maker he can sew 400 garments with 150 bolts of fabric and 1,000 hours of identical labour

Total cost = (150 *110) + (1000 * 20)

Total cost = $36,500

As can be seen the second dressmaker has a lower cost of production so he is more efficient than the first dress maker
