Hi

 

Overhead costs are the costs that are not related to Direct Material or Direct Labor costs.

 

Answer B) Cost of the tires - Direct Material Cost

Answer C) Cost of Laborers - Direct Labor Cost

Answer D) Delivery Costs for Tires - Should be included under the Direct Material Cost in order to insure proper and accurate cost per unit.

 

Correct Answer is Answer A) The cost of small tools.

 

Would appreciate the feedback.

 

Thanks
