Multiple Choice

B. $134,000.

C. $140,000.

D. $128,000.

Answer 1

Option (D) is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Beginning work in process = $4,000

Ending work in process in finishing department = $6,000

Cost transferred = $47,000

Direct material = $15,000

Direct labor = $46,000

Overhead = $22,000

Cost incurred in finishing department:

= Beginning work in process + Cost transferred + Direct material + Direct labor + Overhead

= $4,000 + $47,000 + $15,000 + $46,000 + $22,000

= $134,000

Cost of goods transferred to the Finished Goods Inventory account:

= Cost incurred in finishing - Ending work in process

= $134,000 - $6,000

= $128,000
