D) = $3,927

Explanation:

The cost of a product is the addition of direct material cost + direct labour cost + manufacturing overheads

Overhead absorption rate = Budgeted Overheads / Budgeted machine hours

= $45,000/100,000 hours

= $0.45

Product cost = 2,000 + 400 + (0.45 * 900)

= $2,805

Bid price = Product + (mark up)

= 2,805 + (40% * 2,805)

= $3,927

Bid price = $3,927
