2. During the month of August, direct labor cost totaled $13,000 and direct labor cost was 20% of prime cost. If total manufacturing costs during August were $88,000, the manufacturing overhead was:
A. $52,000
B. $75,000
C. $65,000
D. $23,000
0.20 x Prime cost = Direct labor
0.20 x Prime cost = $13,000
Prime cost = $65,000
Prime cost = Direct materials + Direct labor
$65,000 = Direct materials + $13,000

$5.00
B. $10.00
C. $4.00
D. $8.00
Equivalent units for materials = 5,000 x 80% = 4,000
Equivalent units for conversion = 5,000 x 50% = 2,500
Ending inventory dollar value = $60,000
Ending inventory dollar value = (Equivalent units for materials x Cost per equivalent unit for materials) + (Equivalent units for conversion x Cost per equivalent unit for conversion)
$60,000 = (4,000 x Cost per equivalent unit for materials) + (2,500 x $8.00)
$60,000 = 4,000x X + $20,000
X = $10.00
