rev: 06_06_2013_QC_31398, 09_24_2013_QC_36205

$35,033

$65,700

$120,700

$51,700

Answer 1

1) conversion costs = direct labor + manufacturing costs = $29,700 + $21,200 = $50,900

2) prime costs = direct labor + direct materials = $29,700 + $46,600 = $69,900

3) direct labor = 45% of conversion costs

conversion costs = direct labor + manufacturing overhead

manufacturing overhead = 55% of conversion costs

conversion costs = $80,300 / 55% = $146,000

direct labor = $146,000 - $80,300 = $65,700
