Direct labor is direct cost as it varies with variation in production level and directly related with number of units of product.
Predetermined overhead rate based on direct labor cost = Budgeted overhead cost / direct labor cost / 100 Predetermined overhead rate based on direct labor cost = budgeted overhead cost / direct labor hours.
To calculate the direct labor cost, we first need to determine the total conversion cost. Since direct labor is 40% of the conversion cost, indirect labor must be 60%. Therefore, the total conversion cost is 60000 / 0.6 = 100000. Since direct labor is 40% of the conversion cost, direct labor cost is 100000 * 0.4 = 40000. So, the direct labor cost is $40,000.
cost of direct labor is the total cost of workers involve in production divided by normal capacity is per unit direct labor cost.
Factory manager is not directly related to the production of units of product so it is not direct labor cost but it is included in overhead costs.
