REQUIRED Compute the total cost of the Grater order

Solution

Answer.

Cost of Direct Materials = $36,750
Cost of Purchased Parts = $21,300

Cost of Direct Labor = Direct Labor hours * Average Direct Labor pay rate
Cost of Direct Labor = 220 * $16
Cost of Direct Labor = $3,520

Overhead Cost = 270% * Cost of Direct Labor
Overhead Cost = 270% * $3,520
Overhead Cost = $9,504

Total Cost = Cost of Direct Materials + Cost of Purchased Parts + Cost of Direct Labor + Overhead Cost
Total Cost = $36,750 + $21,300 + $3,520 + $9,504
Total Cost = $71,074
