The computation of the gross margin for the cat condos is given below:
Total Manufacturing Cost per unit is
= Direct materials + Direct labor + Manufacturing overhead
= $22 + $15 + ( 280% of $15)
= $79
Now
Gross Profit is
= Selling price per unit - Total Manufacturing Cost per unit
= $140 - $79
= $61
And finally
Gross Profit Margin is
= (Gross Profit ÷ Selling Price ) × 100
= ($61 ÷ $140) × 100
= 43.57 %
Camptown Togs, Inc., a children’s clothing manufacturer, has always found payroll processing to be costly because it must be done by a clerk so that the number of piece-goods coupons received by each employee can be collected and the types of tasks performed by each employee can be calculated. Not long ago, an industrial engineer designed a system that partially automates the process by means of a scanner that reads the piece-goods coupons. Management is enthusiastic about this system because it utilizes some personal computer systems that were purchased recently. It is expected that this new automated system will save $45,000 per year in labor. The new system will cost about $30,000 to build and test prior to operation. It is expected that operating costs, including income taxes, will be about $5,000 per year. The system will have a five-year useful life. The expected net salvage value of the system is estimated to be $3,000.

Beginning $15,000
Direct materials 10,000
Direct labor 30,000
Overhead applied 15,000
 Â
At the end of July, only one job (Job #15), was still in process. This job has been charged with $2,000 of direct materials cost.
Required:
Determine the amount of direct labor cost incurred and overhead applied in the ending inventory of work-in-process on July 31.
