Select one:
a. $25,000
b. $35,000
c. $56,000
d. $80,000
e. $81,000
Answer is :option a) $25000
For computing manufacturing overhead,first we have to compute prime cost.
Given, direct labour cost = 30% of prime cost
Direct labour cost = $24000
Therefore, prime cost =$24000/30%
=$ 80000
Computation of manufacturing overhead
Prime cost + manufacturing overhead =total manufacturing cost
$80000 +manufacturing overhead = $ 105000
Therefore ,manufacturing overhead = $105000-$80000
= $ 25000
(Prime cost is the sum of direct material,direct labour and direct expenses)
