Calgary Manufacturing company makes chairs and desks. The following costs were incurred in making its products during its first year of operation. Chairs Desks Total Direct Materials $ 8,500 $ 10,500 $ 19,000 Direct Labor 16,500 12,500 29,000 Also the company incurred $22,910 of employee benefits cost. Since these overhead costs are driven by the use of labor they are allocated to the products based on the direct labor dollars. Based on this information alone the total cost of making chairs is. (Do not round intermediate calculations.)

$38035

Explanation:

Firstly, the allocation rate per labor will be: = Allocated cost / Allocation base

= $22910 / $29000

= $0.79 per labor

Overhead cost allocated to chairs will be:

= $16500 x 0.79 = $13035

Overhead cost allocated to Desks will be:

= $12500 × 0.79 = $9875

The total cost of making chairs will then be:

= Material cost + Labor cost + Overhead cost

= $8500 + $16500 + $13035

= $38035
