Option C,$2,265, is correct

Explanation:

Labor cost = direct labor hours*rate per hour

direct labor hours is 50 hours

direct labor cost per hour is $20

labor cost=50*$20=$1,000

Overhead was applied as 100% of direct labor cost

overhead=100%*$1000=$1000

Total cost of job=direct material cost+direct labor+overhead

direct material cost=total cost-direct labor-overhead

direct material cost=$4,265-$1000-$1000=$2,265

The correct option is C,$2,265
