The total manufacturing costs added during the period are:

The total manufacturing costs added during the period are:  $550,000.

manufacturing cost schedule

Direct Raw Materials ($203,000 - $22,000)         $181,000

Direct Labor ($158,000 - $32,000)                       $126,000

Indirect Materials                                                     $22,000

Indirect Labor                                                           $32,000

Overhead costs ($126,000 × 150%)                      $189,000

Total Manufacturing Costs                                   $550,000
