Answer 1

$496,000

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula used to calculate the cost of manufactured goods in a job costing system:

COGM = direct materials + direct labor + applied overhead + beginning work in process - ending work in process

• direct materials = $160,000
• direct labor = $140,000
• applied overhead = $200,000
• WIP April 1 = $34,000
• WIP April 30 = $38,000

Indirect materials, indirect labor and depreciation are already included in applied overhead.

COGM = $160,000 + $140,000 + $200,000 + $34,000 - $38,000 = $496,000

Answer 2

The cost of goods manufactured $ 651,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of Goods Manufactured = Direct Materials + Direct Labor + Manufacturing Overheads + Opening Work In Process - Closing Work In Process

For Cougar Company Cost of Goods Manufactured is Calculated as follows;

Direct materials 160,000

Direct labor 140,000

Prime Cost 300,000

Indirect materials 40,000

Indirect labor 65,000

Manufacturing overhead 200,000

Depreciation Expense 50,000

Total Manufacturing Cost 655,00

Add Opening Work In Process 34,000

Less Closing Work In Process (38,000)

Cost of goods manufactured 651,000
