    It says:
    A company operates a job costing system. Job number 1203 requires $300 of direct materials and $400 of direct labour. Direct labour is paid at the rate of $8 per hour.

    Production overheads are aborbed at a rate of 26$ per direct labour hour and non-production overhead are absorbed at a rate of 120% of prime cost.

    What is the total cost of job number 1203?
    A) $2000
    🙂 $2400
    C) $2840
    D) $4400

    $—
    Direct Materials


    300
    Direct Labour (50 hours @ $8/hour)


    400
    Overheads:
    Production Overheads (50 hours @ $26/hour)—-1,300
    Non-Production Overheads ($700* x 120%)


    840
    Total Cost


    2,840

    *$700 (Prime Cost = Direct Materials Cost + Direct Labour Cost)

    Thank you very much Shunmas!

    I didn’t know that i could apply the 120% to the total of the prime cost, i think that it was only for prime cost for unit, but i see that it’s the same thing!

    Thank you!!

    Open Tiution is great!
