JacksonIndustries produces two products. The products' estimated costs are as follows: Product A Product B
Direct Materials $20,000 $15,000
Direct Labor $30,000 $10,000
The company's overhead costs of $200,000 are allocated based on labor cost. Assume 4,000 units of product A and 5,000 units of Product B are produced. What is the total amount of production costs that would be assigned to Product A? (Do not round intermediate calculations.)
a. $200,000
b. $75,000
c. $50,000
d .$150,000
e. $114,285.71

Total production cost= $200,000

Explanation:

First, we need to calculate the predetermined overhead rate:

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= 200,000 / (30,000 + 10,000)

Predetermined manufacturing overhead rate= $5 per direct labor cost

Now, we can allocate overhead to Product A:

Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base

Allocated MOH= 5*30,000

Allocated MOH= $150,000

Finally, the total production cost for Product A:

Total production cost= 150,000 + 20,000 + 30,000

Total production cost= $200,000

answer; /// the above statement is (true);

answer; it can vividly demonstrate product attributes and persuasively explain their corresponding consumer benefits;
