The ending inventory of finished goods has a total cost of $9,500 and consists of 600 units. if the overhead applied to these goods is $3,600, and the overhead rate is 80% of direct labor, how much direct materials cost was incurred in producing these units?

Direct Materials = 1,400

Explanation:

Using the total cost formula we will solve for materials

total cost = materials + labor + MOH

the total cost is a given.

MHO is a given also.

The labor can be expressed as a percent or MOH using the rate

If MHO = 80% LABOR THEN

MHO/80% = LABOR

3600/0.80 = 4500

now posting the know values un the formula:

9,500 = DM + 4,500 + 3,600

DM = 9,500 - 4,500 - 3,600

DM = 1,400

odd consecutive integers are odd integers that follow each other. they have a difference of 2 between every two numbers. if n is an odd integer, then n, n+2, n+4 and n+6 will be odd consecutive integers. the first number in the pattern is always the variable on its own or in this case, "n". examples.
