(a) The computation of the manufacturing overhead is shown below:

=  Factory utilities + Depreciation on factory equipment + Indirect factory labor + Indirect materials + Property taxes on factory building +  Factory repairs + Factory manager’s salary

= $17,293 + $14,583 + $49,983 + $85,854 + $3,558 + $2,240 + $8,552

= $182,063

(b) The computation of the product cost is shown below:

= Direct material + direct labor + manufacturing overhead

= $139,412 + $70,081 + $182,063

= $391,556
