    A company operates a job costing system. Job number 1203 requires $300 of direct materials and $400 for direct labour.

    Direct labour is paid at a rate of $8 per hour. Production overheads are absorbed at a rate of $26 per direct labour and non productions overhead are absorbed at a rate of 120% of prime cost.

    what is the total cost of Job number 1203?

    HELP PLEASE !!!!!!
    thank you

    The answer is $2840

    Method :-
    Direct material = $300
    Direct Labour = $400 @ $8/hour 400/8 = 50 hours
    Prime cost = $ 700
    Production overhead = $26 x 50 hours = $1300
    Non-production overhead = 700 x 120% = $840
    Total job cost = DM +DL + POH+ NPOH = 300+400+1300+840 = $2840
