Job 412 was one of the many jobs started and completed during the year. The job required $8,600 in direct materials and 40 hours of direct labor time at a total direct labor cost of $9,500.

     Raw materials $ 36,000   Work in process $ 27,000   Finished Goods $ 66,000   Direct labor (1,135 hours) $

260,000

  Indirect labor $ 96,000 Selling and administrative salaries $ 140,000

Explanation / Answer

Cost Sheet of Job 412:

The Price charged to customer = $ 5,973.
