Solution

First, calculate the total overhead cost for the job. This is done by multiplying the overhead absorption rate by the estimated hours of work.

Overhead cost = 80/hour40hours=80/hour * 40 hours = 3200

Next, calculate the price charged to the customer by adding the company's mark-up. The mark-up is 50% of the overhead cost.

Mark-up = 50/100 * 3200=3200 = 1600

Finally, add the overhead cost and the mark-up to get the price charged to the customer.

Price = Overhead cost + Mark-up = 3200+3200 + 1600 = $4800

So, the price charged to the customer would be 4800.Therefore,theanswerisc.4800. Therefore, the answer is c. 4800.
