Copy Center pays an average wage of $12 per hour to employees for printing and copying jobs, and allocates $18 of overhead for each employee hour worked. Direct materials are assigned to each job according to actual cost. Jobs are marked up 20% above total manufacturing cost to determine the selling price. If Job M-47 used $350 of direct materials and took 20 direct hours of labor to complete, what is the selling price of the job?

Respuesta :

The selling price is $ 1140.

Explanation:

Given, average wage for employees per hour = $ 12

Overhead  work wage per hour = $ 18

mark up over cost = 20%

Job M-47 took 20 hours, so it would be

=(average wage cost + overhead cost) [tex]\times[/tex] markup over cost + material used cost

= ($ 12 + $ 18) [tex]\times[/tex] 20 + $ 350

= $ 600 + $ 350 of materials

= $950

Total cost = $ 950 [tex]\times[/tex] 1.2 (the 20% mark up over cost)

                = $ 1140.

The selling price is $ 1140.
