Calculate Acme’s total manufacturing costs for May.

Answer 1

The Acme’s total manufacturing costs for May is $76,825

Step-by-step explanation:

The calculation of total manufacturing cost is computed below:

= Raw material used + Direct labor + Plant depreciation + Factory supplies + Indirect labor + Utilities

= $19,500 + $27,500 + $7,700 + $4,000 + $9,500 + $11,500 × 75%

= $19,500 + $27,500 + $7,700 + $4,000 + $9,500 + $8,625

= $76,825

The other cost like sales expense, administrative expense, advertising is not a part of manufacturing cost. Thus, it is not considered in the calculation part.

Hence, the Acme’s total manufacturing costs for May is $76,825
