Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is B.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

During April, direct labor cost totaled $15,000 and direct labor cost was 30% of prime cost. If total manufacturing costs during April were $79,000.

Manufacturing cost= direct material + direct labor + manufacturing overhead

Prime cost= direct material + direct labor

50,000= DM + 15,000

Direct material= 35,000

79,000= 35,000 + 15,000 + manufacturing overhead

manufacturing overhead= 29,000
