Answer 1

a. Cost of goods sold = Sales - Gross profit

= $416,720 - $242,950

= $173,770

b. Direct materials cost = Materials purchased -Indirect materials - Materials inventory, end of period

= $128,350 - $45,220 - $17,090

= $66,060

c. Direct labor cost =Total manufacturing costs for the period - Direct materials cost - Factory overhead

= $239,610 - $66,060 - ($90,430 + $45,220 + $13,750)

= $239,610 - $66,060 - $149,380

=$239,610 - $215,440

=$24,170
