Answer 1

a. $230,000

b. $690,000

c. $710,000

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation is shown below:

a. Cost of direct material used = Beginning balance of raw material + purchase made - ending balance of raw material

= $140,000 + $220,000 - $130,000

= $230,000

b. Total manufacturing cost

Total manufacturing cost = cost of direct materials used + direct labor cost + overhead cost

= $230,000 + $150,000 + $310,000

= $690,000

c. Cost of goods manufactured

Cost of goods manufactured = Beginning balance of Work in process + Manufacturing cost - Ending balance of Work in process

= $90,000 + $690,000 - $70,000

= $710,000
