Answer

Total cost for Sophie: $30.9

1Step-by-Step-Solution Step 1: Calculation of total indirect cost for Sophie

Admission cost=Predetermiend overhead allocationrate×No.ofadmission=$3×1=$3



Cleaning cost=Predetermiend overhead allocation rate×No. of cleaning directlabor hour        =$2.4×1 =$2.4




Grroming cost=Predetermiend overhead allocation rate×No. of grroming direct laborhour         =$20×0.5=$10



Total Cost=Admission cost+Cleaning cost+Grooming cost=$3+$2.4+$10=$15.4



2Step 2: Calculation of Total Cost for Sophie

Total Cost=Direct material cost+Direct laborhour cost+Total Indirectcost=$3.50+$12+$15.4=$30.9
