    The correct answer is D: Manufacturing overhead = $45500

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information, we need to calculate the amount of manufacturing head.

    Direct labor = $11000

    Direct labor is 40% of prime costs

    Total manufactured cost is = $73000

    First, we need to calculate the direct material:

    Prime cost = direct material + direct labor

    If direct labor is 40% of prime costs, then:

    Direct material = (11000*60/40=16500

    Now, the manufactured cost formula is:

    Manufactured cost = direct material + direct labor + manufacturing overhead

    By rearranging the formula:

    Manufacturing overhead = Manufactured costs - direct material - direct labor = 73000 - 16500-11000=$45500
