PRIME COST = Direct material +Direct labour + Direct expenses

OVERHEAD = Indirect material + Indirect labour + Indirect expenses

Conversion costs - The combination of a manufacturer's direct labor and factory overhead.

Direct materials:
purchase of glue 320
purchsae of nails 160
purchase of oak 50,000
purchase of pine 19,800
Total : 70,280

Direct labour:
Assemblers wages 16,840
lathe operator's wage 13,280
Total : 30,120

Factory overheads (indirect) :
Factory utilities 11,120
machinery repairs 4,520
supervisor's salaries 38,280
Total : 53,920

Prime cost :
Direct mat'ls 70,280
Direct labour 30,120
Direct expenses 1,840 (depn)
Total : 102,240

Conversion cost :
Direct labour 30,120
Factory overhead 53,920
Total : 84,040

Sorry if I got some wrong but a lot depends on assumptions, for e.g. I assumed that the machinery is only for the lathes, that's why I treated it as direct expenses. Also I treated the glue and nails as direct materials as I feel that they form part of the finished product. But at least I hope you got the idea, so I suggest you check your teacher's definition of the various terms and re-do the sums following her definitions.
