•	Manufacturing overhead was applied to work in process at 175 percent of direct labor dollars. Applied manufacturing overhead for the year was 40 percent of the total manufacturing cost during the year.

Required:

Compute actual direct material used, actual direct labor, and applied manufacturing overhead. (Round your answers to the nearest dollar amount. Omit the "$" sign in your response.)

Answer 1

• Total Manufacturing Cost = $ 2,368,000
• Applied Manufacturing Overhead = 40% of $ 2,368,000
  = $ 947,200
• Manufacturing Overhead are applied at 175% of direct Labor Dollars.
  Hence, Direct Labor Dollars = $ 947,200 / 175%
  = $ 541,257
• Direct Material used = Total manufacturing cost – Applied Overheads – Direct labor cost
  = 2368000 – 947200 – 541257
  = $ 879,543
