Multiple Choice

• $80,960

• $201,480

• $102,250

• $183,210

Answer 1

Cash disbursements for February = (Variable overhead rate × Number of direct-labor hours) + (Fixed manufacturing overhead less depreciation)

Cash disbursements for February = (9,200 × $8.80) + ($120,520 − $18,270)

Cash disbursements for February = $183,210
