Question

Direct materials and direct labor of a company total $8300000. If manufacturing overhead is $4150000, what is direct labor cost

Answer 1

Answer:

The direct labor cost cannot be ascertained from the information given in the question

Explanation:

Direct materials+Direct labor cost= $8300000

In order to determine the labor cost of the  $8300000, we need a clue as to the percentage of the labor cost in the total of  $8300000 or the portion of  $8300000 that belongs to direct materials.

Since such a hint is missing,we can simply guess, costs  incurred cannot be shared out on a basis that has no relationship with reality,hence, the correct answer is that the direct labor cost cannot be determined based on details provided.
