Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
The manufacturing overhead applied is calculated based on the predetermined overhead rate, which is 150% of the direct labor cost. Since the total costs are $25,000, including direct materials of $20,000, the direct labor cost is $25,000 - $20,000 = $5,000. The overhead applied is 150% of $5,000, which is $5,000 * 1.5 = $7,500. However, none of the options match this calculation, suggesting a misunderstanding in the question's presentation or a mistake in my calculation based on the provided options. Given the options, the closest approach to explaining the scenario with the provided options would be to re-evaluate the calculation or the understanding of the question.
