Answer 1

$98,233

Step-by-step explanation:

Total product costs = direct labor costs + direct material costs + factory overhead

In this case, we must add up the following costs:

• Direct labor = $20,906
• Metal to make the exterior shell of the washing machines (direct material cost) = $50,181
• Electricity to run the machinery in the factory (factory overhead) = $18,939
• Salary of the manager who oversees manufacturing = $8,204

Total product costs = $98,233

The waterbill for the HQ, the salary of the CEO, and the marketing expenses are not included in the calculation because they are not factory overhead specifically.
