Required:
What is the value of the ending Work-in-Process Inventory?

Answer 1

The ending Work-in-Process Inventory is:

= $89,600.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Purchases of direct materials = $95,900

Materials used (80% of $95,900) $76,720

Direct labor incurred = 56,900

Overhead costs:

Indirect labor incurred = 14,500

Other overhead costs 107,900 122,400

Total production costs $256,020

Cost of goods completed = 166,413

Ending Work in Process = $89,607

Cost of goods completed = $166,413

Cost of goods sold = 85% of $166,413 = $141,451

Ending Finished goods inventory = $24,962
