Given the following data: Work in process, beginning $14,000 Work in process, ending 20,000 Direct labor costs 4,000 Cost of goods manufactured 8,000 Factory overhead 8,000 Direct materials used is

Answer 1

Answer: $2000

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of goods manufactured is calculated as the addition of the total manufacturing cost and the beginning work in process after which the ending work in process in subtracted. This will be:

$8,000 = Total manufacturing cost +$14,000 - 20,000

Total manufacturing cost:

= $20000+8000 - 14000

= $14,000

We then calculate the direct material used which will be:

= Total manufacturing cost - Factory overhead - Direct labor costs

= $14,000 - 8,000 - 4,000

= $2,000
