Solutions

Expert Solution

1. Conversion cost = direct labor+manufacturing overhead

Now 30% of conversion cost = direct labor cost. Thus 30% of conversion cost = 23040

Thus conversion cost = 23040/30% = $76800

Now, Conversion cost = direct labor+manufacturing overhead. Thus 76800 = 23040+manufacturing overhead

or manufacturing overhead = 76800-23040 = $53,760

2. Total prime cost = direct labor cost/40% = 23040/40% = 57,600

Total manufacturing cost = prime cost+manufacturing overhead cost. Total manufacturing cost = direct materials+direct labor+manufacturing overhead.

Thus direct materials+direct labor+manufacturing overhead = prime cost+manufacturing overhead

or direct materials+23,040+53,760 = 57,600+53,760

or direct materials cost = 57600-23040 = $34,560

3. Total manufacturing cost = direct material+direct labor+manufacturing overhead = 34560+23040+53760 = $111,360

4. Variable selling and administrative cost = 5% of sales = 5% of 192,000 = $9,600

5. Total variable cost = $9600+direct materials+direct labor = 9600+34560+23040 = $67,200

6. Total costs = total manufacturing cost+total selling and administrative expense = 111360+28800 = $140,160

Total fixed cost = total cost-total variable cost = 140160-67200 = $72,960

7. Contribution margin = sales - variable costs = 192,000-67,200

= $124,800
