Final answer:
The total manufacturing cost assigned to Job Q cannot be determined based on the given information.
Step-by-step explanation:
The total manufacturing cost assigned to Job Q can be found by summing up the costs of labor and machines for that job. The cost of labor is $24 per hour, and the cost of machines varies depending on the technology used. In the provided information, there are no specific costs mentioned for Job Q, so we cannot determine the exact total manufacturing cost assigned to it.
The question asks about the total manufacturing cost assigned to Job Q. However, there is not sufficient data provided to directly determine the answer to this question. In general, the total manufacturing cost is calculated by adding the cost of labor, the cost of materials, and manufacturing overhead to Job Q. Using the provided random figures is not relevant to calculating the costs for Job Q without a structured context or formula that indicates how these figures relate to Job Q.
For instance the cost of labor, if it remains at $40, and the cost of a machine which decreases to $50, we still need to know the quantity of labor and machines used for Job Q to begin such a calculation.
Without additional information that ties the numbers to Job Q, such as the number of labor hours and machine hours used, it's not possible to select an option (a, b, c, d) as the correct one.
