Solution

To calculate the prime cost of Job #6, we need to add the cost of direct materials and direct labor used in that job.

  1. Calculate the cost of direct materials for Job #6: The total raw material used is 120,000. Job #6 used 30% of this. So, the cost of direct materials for Job #6 = 30/100 * 120,000 = $36,000.

  2. Calculate the cost of direct labor for Job #6: The direct labor hours for Job #6 are 2,500 hours. The cost of direct labor per hour is 8.50. So, the cost of direct labor for Job #6 = 2,500 hours * 8.50/hour = $21,250.

  3. Add the cost of direct materials and direct labor to get the prime cost: Prime cost of Job #6 = cost of direct materials + cost of direct labor = 36,000+36,000 + 21,250 = $57,250.

So, the prime cost of Job #6 is $57,250.
