Explanation / Answer

Total conversion cost = $318,000

Conversion costs include direct labor cost and total manufacturing overhead costs.

Direct labor cost = $117,000

Therefore,

Total manufacturing ovehread costs = $318,000 - $117,000 = $201,000

In the given list of costs, the following items are included in total manufacturing ovehread costs.

Depreciation expense - Factory equipment = $72,000

Indirect labor = $41,000

Indirect materials = $29,000

Property tax expense - Factory = ??

Utilities Expense - Factory = $38,000

Now if we add all the known manufacturing overheads we get $180,000.

But the totalmanufacturing overhead as calculated above is $201,000

Therefore,

Property tax expense = $201,000 - $180,000 = $21,000.
