The direct labor cost was:
a. $20,400
b. $13.100

Answer 1

$8,500

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the direct labor cost is given below

The raw material issued should be

= 6,200 + 2,800

= 9,000

The manufacturing overhead applied is 8,300

So, here the amount should be from both work in process and manufacturing overhead

Therefore the remaining amount i.e. $8,500 should be the direct labor cost
