First, we will classify each cost as product/ period, and Direct Material (DM), Direct Labor (DL) and manufacturing overhead (MOH).

A) Prime costs= direct material + direct labor

Prime costs= 2,100,000 + (485,000 + 96,000 + 55,000 + 40,000)

Prime costs= 2,100,00 + 676000= 2,776,000

B) Manufacturing overhead= 31000 + 10000 + 116000 + 141000 + 46000= $344,000

C) conversion cost= direct labor + manufacturing overhead

CC= 676000 + 344000= 1,020,000

D) Product costs= DM + DL + MOH= 2100000+676000+344000= $3,120,000

E) Period cost= 100000 + 150000 + 15000 + 6000 + 10000 + 97000= $378,000
