Correct answer is D

Factory overhead is the total cost involved in operating all production facilities of a manufacturing business that cannot be traced directly to a product. It has to do with indirect labor and cost.

Examples are;

  • Electricity or gas used in a factory.
  • Other utilities, such as water and trash service.
  • Unforeseen repairs or maintenance.
  • Employees who perform repairs or maintenance.
  • Supervisors or managers in the factory salaries.
  • Depreciation on a building's value.
  • Rent and property taxes.
  • Equipment depreciation.

Furniture and fixtures are office expenses and are not involved in the production phase.
