The following information relates to the company’s two departments for the month of January: Mixing Bottling Cases of cola in work in process, January 1 10,000 5,000 Cases of cola completed/transferred out during January 65,000 ? Cases of cola in work in process, January 31 4,000 7,000 How many cases of cola were completed and transferred to Finished Goods Inventory during January?

Answer 1

$63,000

Explanation:

The computation of cases of cola were completed and transferred to Finished Goods Inventory during January is shown below:-

Completed and transferred to finished goods inventory is

= Case of cola as on Jan 1 work in process + completed & transferred out - ending work in process as on Jan 31

= $5,000 + $65,000 - $7,000

= $63,000

Hence, the number of cases of cola is $63,000
