The ending inventory of finished goods has a total cost of $11,600 and consists of 600 units. If the overhead applied to these goods is $3,850, and the overhead rate is 70% of direct labor, how much direct materials cost was incurred in producing these units?

the Direct Labor Costs are  $5500

And Direct Materials are 2,250

Explanation:

Finished Goods has a total cost of $11,600

If the overhead applied to these goods is $3,850

Then the Direct Labor Costs are  $5500

And Direct Materials are 2,250

Using the cross product rule

$3850    : 70

x          :   100

x= $3850*100/70= $ 5500 are Direct LAbor Costs

Direct Materials= Finished Goods - overhead applied -Direct Labor Costs

  Direct Materials             =$11,600- $3,850- $5500

And Direct Materials are = $2,250
