How much is the total manufacturing cost added to Work in Process during the year?

Raw materials $ 525,000

Direct labor cost $ 690,000

Applied Manufacturing Overheads $ 808,500

Total Manufacturing Costs $ 2,023,500

Thus total manufacturing cost added to Work in Process during the year is $ 2,023,500

Explanation:

Manufacturing cost = Direct Materials + Direct Labor + Overheads

Overheads included in Manufacturing Costs must be those Applied instead of Actual

Budgeted Overhead Rate = Budgeted Overheads/Budgeted Activity

= $693,000/42,000

= $16.50/hour

Applied overheads = Actual Direct labour hours * Budgeted Overhead Rate

= 49,000 * $16.50

= $808,500
