Direct labor cost incurred during the period amounted to 1.4 times the factory overhead. The CFO of Fisher, Inc. has asked you to recalculate the following accounts and to report to him by the end of the day.

Required:
What is the amount of total manufacturing cost?

Answer 1

Answer: $55,600

Step-by-step explanation:

Total Manufacturing Cost

= Direct Material + Direct Labor + Factory Overhead

Cost of Goods manufactured = Direct materials used + Work-in-Process Inventory, Beginning + Factory Overhead Applied + Direct Labor - Work-in-Process Inventory, Ending

Direct Materials = Cost of Goods manufactured - Work-in-Process Inventory, Beginning - Factory Overhead Applied - Direct Labor + Work-in-Process Inventory, Ending

= 57,100 - 10,500 - 11,500 - (1.4 * 11,500) + 9,000

= $28,000

Total manufacturing cost = 28,000 + ( 1.4 * 11,500) + 11,500

= $55,600
