Required:
1. What is the total manufacturing overhead cost?
2. What is the total direct materials cost?
3. What is the total manufacturing cost?
4. What is the total variable selling and administrative cost?
5. What is the total variable cost?
6. What is the total fixed cost?
7. What is the total contribution margin?
1. The total manufacturing overhead cost is computed as follows:
Direct labor cost (a)........................................... $15,000
Direct labor as a percentage of total conversion costs (b)......................................................... 30%
Total conversion cost (a) ÷ (b)........................... $50,000
Total conversion cost (a) ................................... $50,000
Direct labor cost (b)........................................... $15,000
Total manufacturing overhead cost (a) ‒ (b) ....... $35,000
2. The total direct materials cost is computed as follows:
Direct labor cost (a)........................................... $15,000
Direct labor as a percentage of total prime costs (b)................................................................. 40%
Total prime cost (a) ÷ (b) .................................. $37,500
Total prime cost (a)........................................... $37,500
Direct labor cost (b)........................................... $15,000
Total direct materials cost (a) ‒ (b)..................... $22,500
3. The total amount of manufacturing cost is computed as follows:
Direct materials cost.......................................... $22,500
Direct labor cost................................................ 15,000
Manufacturing overhead cost ............................. 35,000
Total manufacturing cost.................................... $72,500
4. The total variable selling and administrative cost is computed as follows:
Total sales (a)................................................... $120,000
Sales commission percentage (b) ....................... 5%
Total variable selling and administrative cost (a) × (b).............................................................. $6,000
5. The total variable cost is computed as follows:
Direct materials cost.......................................... $22,500
Direct labor cost................................................ 15,000
Sales commissions............................................. 6,000
Total variable cost ............................................. $43,500
6. The total fixed cost is computed as follows:
Total selling and administrative expenses (a)............................................ $18,000
Sales commissions (b) .............................. $6,000
Total fixed selling and administrative expense (a) ‒ (b).............................. $12,000
Total fixed manufacturing overhead........... 35,000
Total fixed cost......................................... $47,000
7. The total contribution margin is calculated as follows:
Sales (a)........................................................... $120,000
Variable costs (b) .............................................. $43,500
Contribution margin (a) ‒ (b)............................. $76,500
1. Total manufacturing overhead cost ....... $35,000
2. Total direct materials cost .................... $22,500
3. Total manufacturing cost.................................... $72,500
4. Total variable selling and administrative cost................................... $6,000
5. Total variable cost ............................................. $43,500
6. Total fixed cost......................................... $47,000
7. Contribution margin............................. $76,500
