Answer 1

a. Cost of materials used in production = $78,329

b. Cost of goods manufactured = $299,377

c. Cost of goods sold = $269,833

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Compute the cost of materials used in production

This can be computed as follows:

Cost of materials used in production = Beginning Raw materials inventory + Raw materials purchased - Ending Raw materials inventory = $17,432 + $77,323 - $16,426 = $78,329

b. Compute the cost of goods manufactured

This can be computed as follows:

Overhead applied = Direct labor costs * 70% = $125,900 * 70% = $88,130

Cost of goods manufactured = Cost of materials used in production + Direct labor costs + Overhead applied + Beginning work in process inventory - Ending work in process inventory = $78,329 + $125,900 + $88,130 + $241,440 - $234,422 = $299,377

c. Compute the cost of goods sold

This can be computed as follows:

Cost of goods sold = Beginning finished goods inventory + Cost of goods manufactured - Ending finished goods inventory = $312,840 + $299,377 - $342,384 = $269,833
