    1. Total manufacturing overhead cost = $35,000

    2. Total Direct Material cost = $22,500

    3. Total manufacturing cost = $72,500

    4. Total Variable Selling and Administrative Cost = $6,000

    5. Total variable cost = $43,500

    6. Total Fixed Cost = $47,000

    7. Total contribution margin = $76,500

    Explanation:

    Provided Sales = $120,000

    Direct labor Cost = $15,000 which = 30% of total conversion cost

    Total conversion cost = $15,000/30% = $50,000

    Conversion cost = Labor cost + Manufacturing cost, manufacturing cost = $50,000 - $15,000 = $35,000

    Provided Direct labor cost is 40% of total prime cost.

    Total prime cost = Direct material + direct labor = $15,000/40% = $37,500

    Direct material = $37,500 - $15,000 = $22,500

    Provided selling and distribution expense = $18,000

    Variable = Sales commission of 5% on sales = $120,000 X 5% = $6,000

    Fixed Selling expenses = $18,000 - variable $6,000 = $12,000

    Manufacturing Overhead cost is completely fixed = $35,000

    Now we have total manufacturing cost = material + labor + manufacturing overheads = $22,500 + $15,000 + $35,000 = $72,500

    Total variable cost = Material + labor + Selling & Administration

    = $22,500 + $15,000 + $6,000 = $43,500

    Total fixed cost = Manufacturing + Selling & Administrative

    = $35,000 + $12,000 = $47,000

    Total contribution margin = Selling Value - Total Variable Cost = $120,000 - $43,500 = $76,500

    Final Answer

    1. Total manufacturing overhead cost = $35,000

    2. Total Direct Material cost = $22,500

    3. Total manufacturing cost = $72,500

    4. Total Variable Selling and Administrative Cost = $6,000

    5. Total variable cost = $43,500

    6. Total Fixed Cost = $47,000

    7. Total contribution margin = $76,500
