3. With respect to cost classifications for manufacturers:
a. What is the total manufacturing cost?
b. What is the total nonmanufacturing cost?
c. What is the total conversion cost and prime cost?
a. Calculation of total Manufacturing Cost or Product Cost:
Manufacturing Cost = Direct Material + Direct Labor + Manufacturing Overhead
Total Manufacturing Cost = $74,000 + $37,500 + $46,500 = $158,000
b. Calculation of Total Non-Manufacturing cost
Non-manufacturing costs refer to those incurred outside the factory or production department. These are costs are not needed in transforming materials into finished goods. Non-manufacturing costs include: selling expenses and general expenses.
Therefore.
Non-Mnufacturing Cost = Selling expenses + General and Administrative Expenses
Total Non- Manufacturing Cost = $33,000 + $30,500 = $63,500
c. Calcultion of total conversion cost and prime cost
Total Conversion Cost : Conversion costs are the manufacturing costs needed to convert the direct materials into products.
Total Conversion Cost = Direct Labor Cost + Manufacturig or Factory Overhead Cost
Direct Labor Cost = $37,500
Factory Overhead Cost = Variable manufacturing overhead + Fixed manufacturing overhead
Factory Overhead Cost = $17,000 + $29,500 = $46,500
Therefore,
Total Conversion Cost = Direct Labor Cost + Manufacturig or Factory Overhead Cost
Total Conversion Cost = $37,500 + $46,500 = $84,000
Prime Cost: Prime cost is the direct cost of manufacturing an item. Prime cost includes Direct Material and Direct Labor.
Prime Cost = Direct Material + Direct Labor = $74,000 + $37,500 = $111,500
