Maya · Answer 1

The company's product costs total C) $40,000

Explanation:

To get Total product costs, we add Total direct materials costs, with total direct labor costs and your total manufacturing overhead costs that you incurred during the period.

Direct materials used $12,000

Direct labor paid $9,000

Manufacturing plant utility costs $19,000

Total = $40,000

Commissions paid to salespeople $5,000 are not related to manufacturing

Advertising costs $2,000 are not related to manufacturing
