Douglas Nielsen · Answer 1

Amount of overhead debited to Work in Process Inventory is $364,000

Explanation:

Direct labor cost = Total labor cost - Indirect labor cost

Direct labor cost = $720,000 - $200,000 = $520,000

Overhead debited to Work in Process Inventory = 70% * Direct labor cost

=70% * $520,000

=$364,000
