For each of the following independent cases AE compute the m
Solution
We know that:
Prime costs = direct materials cost + direct labor cost.
Conversion costs = direct labor costs + manufacturing overheads
Total manufacturing cost = direct materials+direct labor+manufacturing overhead.
On this basis the completed table is shown below:
Calculations and explanations:
1. For A: Prime cost = 2110+1170 = 3280. Conversion cost = 2110+3700 = 5810. Total mfg. cost = 2110+1170+3700 = 6980
2. For B: Direct labor = 6960-2110 = 4850. Total mfg. cost = 2110+4850+6830 = 13790
3. For C: Prime cost = 1580+3250 = 4830. Mfg overhead = 9260-1580-3250 = 4430
4. For D: Direct materials = 5880-3010-2040 = 830. Prime cost = 830+2040 = 2870. Conversion cost = 830+3010 = 3840
5. For E: Direct labor = 11540-3420 = 8120. Mfg. overhead = 20570-8120 = 12450. Total mfg cost = 3420+8120+12450 = 23990.
| Case | Prime Cost | Conversion cost | Direct materials | Direct labor | Manufacturing overhead | Total manufacturing cost |
| A | 3,280.00 | 5,810.00 | 2,110.00 | 1,170.00 | 3,700.00 | 6,980.00 |
| B | 6,960.00 | 11,680.00 | 2,110.00 | 4,850.00 | 6,830.00 | 13,790.00 |
| C | 4,830.00 | 8,040.00 | 1,580.00 | 3,250.00 | 4,430.00 | 9,260.00 |
| D | 2,870.00 | 3,840.00 | 830.00 | 2,040.00 | 3,010.00 | 5,880.00 |
| E | 11,540.00 | 20,570.00 | 3,420.00 | 8,120.00 | 12,450.00 | 23,990.00 |
