Total cost = $855

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Copy Center pays an average wage of $13 per hour to employees for printing and copying jobs and allocates $19 of overhead for each employee hour worked.

Job M-47:

Direct material = $375

Direct labor = 15 direct labor hours

The total cost of Job M-47 is calculated by adding direct material, direct labor, and allocated overhead:

Direct labor = 15*13 = $195

Allocated overhead = 15*19 = $285

Total cost = 375 + 195 + 285 = $855
