A. $1,500
B. $850
C. $950
D. $550

C. $950

Explanation:

Hello.

Your question was missing a few details so I threw them in. You'll find it in attachments.

To calculate the total Manufacturing costs for Job 201 we would need to calculate the overhead cost allocation rate first to find out how much Overhead to allocate to Job 201.

Using a normal costing system with direct labour cost as the allocation base,

Overhead allocation rate = (Overheads/Direct Labor Cost)*100

= (100,000/50,000)*100

=200%

Overhead allocation rate is 200% or 2x direct labor cost.

Now to calculate the total Manufacturing costs of Job 201,

Total manufacturing cost for Job 201 = Direct Material + Direct Labor + Manufacturing Overheads

= 350 + 200 + (200*2 for manufacturing overhead)

= 350 + 200 + 400

= $950

$950 is the total manufacturing cost for Job 201 making option C correct.

in 2001, dell computer became the world’s largest personal computer vendor, continuing to

gain market share and post profits in an industry struggling with slumping sales and billions of

dollars in losses. dell sells 90% of its pcs directly to the final customer, largely bypassing the

reseller channel that accounts for most of the world’s pc sales. this direct customer relationship

is the key to dell’s business model, and provides distinct advantages over the indirect sales

model. dell’s direct relationship with the customer allows it to tailor its offerings to customer

needs, offer add-on products and services, and use the internet to offer a variety of customer

services. in addition, dell’s pcs are built to customers’ specifications upon receipt of an order,

giving dell additional advantages over indirect pc vendors who must try to forecast demand and

ship products based on those forecasts. dell’s direct sales and build-to-order model has achieved

superior performance in the pc industry in terms of inventory turnover, reduced overhead, cash

conversion, and return on investment (kraemer, et al., 2000).
