During the month of July, direct labour cost totalled $24,000 and direct labour cost was 30% of prime cost. If total manufacturing costs during June were $105,000, the manufacturing overhead was:
Prime cost=Direct materials+Direct labor
24000=30%*prime cost
prime cost=(24000/0.3)
=$80000
Total manufacturing cost=Direct materials+Direct labor+manufacturing overhead
105,000=Prime cost+manufacturing overhead
manufacturing overhead=(105,000-80,000)
=$25000
