Answer 1

(a) $190,000

(b) $635,000

(c) $625,000

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) Cost of material Consumed:

= Opening Stock of material + Purchases - Closing Material

= $1,20,000 + $200,000 - $130,000

= $190,000

(b) Total Manufacturing cost:

= Direct Material + Direct labor + Overhead

= $190,000 + $120,000 + $325,000

= $635,000

(c) Cost of goods manufactured:

= Total Manufacturing cost + Work in progress Beginning - Work in progress End

= $635,000 + 80,000 - 90,000

= $625,000
