Answer 1

C. $17,100

Step-by-step explanation:

The manufacturing cost for the year is computed as;

Manufacturing cost = (Direct materials + Direct labor + Total factory overheads) + Beginning work in process - Ending work in process

Direct materials

$5,000

Direct labor

$7,000

Total factory overheads.

$5,100

Direct manufacturing costs

$17,100

Add beginning work in process

$3,000

Less ending work in process

($4,000)

Total manufacturing costs

$16,100
