Option (c) is correct.

Explanation:

Given that,

Direct materials cost = $2,118

Total direct labor-hours = 40

Total machine hours = 257

Direct labor wage rate = $18 per labor-hour

Predetermined overhead rate = $22 per machine-hour

Total cost for the job:

= Direct materials cost + Direct labor cost + Overhead cost

= $2,118 + (40 hours * $18 per hour) + (257 hours * $22 per machine hour)

= $2,118 + $720 + $5,654

= $8,492
