    Read this first: Expectations for the Homework Help board

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Do not simply retype or paste a question from your book or study material

    We won't do your homework questions for you.
    You were given the assignment for you to learn.

    If you come up with your own answer and post it for us to critique that is within reason.

    If you have some SPECIFIC questions that you couldn't find or didn't understand, we may help with that.
    But this is your assignment, so show us you have at least attempted to complete it on your own.

    Thank you.

    Think about what the term "manufacturing overhead" means. These are expenses that are necessary to the operation of the factory but can't be assigned to a particular product as it is manufactured. For example the cost of heating factory - it is definitely necessary for manufacturing, but the cost can't be assigned to any one product being made in the factory. The cost of heating is independent of how much product is produced. But now think about marketing expense - does the factory incur marketing expenses in order to manufacture products? Does it incur sales commissions expenses?
