Abel companys manufacturing overhead is 20 percent of its total conversion costs If direct labor is 38000 and if direct material are 47000 the manufacturing overhead is?

Manufacturing Overheads = 20% of Conversion CostTotal Conversion Cost = ?Total Conversion Cost = Direct Labor + Manufacturing Overheads100% = 80% + 20%Total Conversion Cost = direct labor * 100/80Direct labor = 38000Total Conversion Cost = 38000 * 100/80Total Conversion Cost = 47500Manufacturing Cost = Total Conversion Cost - Direct LaborManufacturing Cost = 47500 - 38000Manufactruring Cost = 9500


Is Conversion cost is the sum of direct labor and manufacturing overhead?

Yes conversion cost is sum of direct labor and overheads which required to run the process of production of units.


What is the direct labor cost if a company's direct labor is 40 percent of its conversion cost and the manufacturing overhead cost for the last period was 60000 and the direct materials cost was 30000?

60000 + 30000 = 90000 = 60% / 60 = 1500 = 1% x 100 = 150000 = 100% X .4 = 60000 The above solution is incorrect. By definition, the conversion cost is the sum of the direct labor cost and the overhead. Therefore, if we assume x is the conversion cost, then x = 0.4x + 60,000. The solution is conversion cost = 100,000. Hence, the direct labor cost = 40,000. Note that the knowing the direct material cost is not necessary for the computation of the labor cost. I am really bad at math so i just have to think you are right on this one


Is total cost different from overhead cost?

Overhead cost is part of total cost and not different from total cost as formula is as follows: Total cost = material cost + labor cost + overhead cost


Definition of a predetermined overhead rate?

Predetermined overhead rate is that overhead rate calculated before start of production to allocate overhead costs to units of products by using some ratio in relation to some other cost like material cost or labor cost or labor hours etc.

What is conversion costs?

Pricing is based on direct labor and overhead. Materials does not affect pricing. Example: Your customer provides materials used in production.

How prime cost is different from conversion cost and Manufacturing Costs?

Prime cost basically is the cost of direct labor and cost of direct material; whereas conversion costs is Overhead cost and direct labor cost.


Abbey Company's manufacturing overhead is 60 percent of its total conversion costs If direct labor is 35000 and if direct materials are 55000 the manufacturing overhead is?

Conversion Cost (CC) = Direct Labour (DL) + Manufacturing Overhead (MO) CC = 35000 + (35000/40)*60 Therefor, M0 = (35000/40)*60 = 52500


Is the cost of direct materials classified as a conversion cost?

No, Conversion cost is the sum of direct labor cost and manufacturing overhead cost.


Does prime cost plus conversion cost equal the cost of manufacturing?

Total Manufacturing Cost = Direct Material + Direct Labor + Factory Overheads Prime Cost = Direct material + Direct Labor Conversion Cost = Direct Labor + Factory Overhead So yes prime cost and conversion cost is equal to total manufacturing cost


What if budgeted manufacturing overhead is not equal to applied manufacturing overhead?

There is a variance.


Is Conversion cost is the sum of direct labor and manufacturing overhead?

Yes conversion cost is sum of direct labor and overheads which required to run the process of production of units.


When calculating total cost do you add in variable manufacturing overhead fixed manufacturing overhead or both?

Following is the formula for total costtotal cost = fixed overheads + variable overheads + direct labor + direct material
