    The total cost of Job A is $29,044

    Explanation:

    The computation of the total cost is shown below:

    = Direct materials used for Department A + Direct materials used for Department B + Direct manufacturing labor for Department A + Direct manufacturing labor for Department B + Applied overhead for Department A + Applied overhead for Department B

    where,

    Applied overhead for Department A = (Budgeted manufacturing overheads : machine-hours) * Department A machine hours

    = ($57,500 : 4,000 machine-hours) * 800 machine-hours

    = $11,500

    Applied overhead for Department B = (Budgeted manufacturing overheads : Direct labor hours) * Department B Direct labor hours

    = ($62,500 : 8,000 Direct labor hours) * 300 Direct labor hours

    = $2,344

    The other items values would remain the same

    Now put these values to the above formula

    So, the value would equal to

    = $3,250 + $1,350 + $5,250 + $5,350 + $11,500 + $2,344

    = $29,044
