The total cost of job #521 is_.

A. $155.
B. $215.
C. $565.
D. $590

Answer 1

D. $590

Step-by-step explanation:

Predetermined overhead rate = $15 per labour hour

Direct Material cost = $50

Labor rate = $75 per hour

Number of Direct labor hour = 6

Direct labor cost = 6 x 75 = $450

Overhead applied cost = Predetermined overhead rate x Direct labor hours

Overhead applied cost = 15 x 6 = $90

Total cost = $50 + $450 + $90

Total cost = $590

So, the correct answer is D. $590
