    Manufacturing overhead
    Company's manufacturing overhead is 20% of it's total conversion cost. If direct labor is $45,000 and direct materials are $53,000, the manufacturing overhead is? How do I figure this?

    Conversion costs consist of direct labor and factory overhead. You can ignore the direct materials. It was just included to try to confuse you.

    Overhead=.20(45,000+Overhead)
    Overhead=.20 Overhead + 9,000
    .80 Overhead = 9,000
    Overhead = 11,250

    Conversion Costs = 11,250+45,000=56,250
    Overhead = 56,250*.20=11,250
