Answer 1

Answer:

C. $1,370,000

Explanation:

Calculation to determine the cost figures that should be used in setting a minimum bid price if Harlen has excess capacity

Direct material $340,000

Direct labor $610,000

Allocated variable overhead $420,000

Minimum bid price $1,370,000

($340,000+$610,000+$420,000)

Therefore the cost figures that should be used in setting a minimum bid price if Harlen has excess capacity is $1,370,000
