What is the amount of direct materials used?

Answer 1

The amount of direct materials used by Conrad, Incorporated is $29,940.

Calculating the cost of production:

The cost of goods manufactured is given as the beginning WIP plus direct labor, materials, and overhead costs, less ending WIP.

When the cost of goods manufactured is given, it is possible to compute any missing entry (e.g. the cost of direct materials) from the above equation.

Data and Calculaitons:

Work-in-Process Inventory, Beginning 12,900

Factory Overhead Applied 13,200

Direct labor = $19,800 ($13,200 x 1.5)

Work-in-Process Inventory, Ending 10,200

Computation of the Direct Materials Costs:

                                                                  Debit        Credit

Work-in-Process Inventory, Beginning $12,900

Factory Overhead Applied                      13,200

Direct labor                                              19,800

Direct materials                                      29,940                                              

Cost of Goods Manufactured                                 $65,640

Work-in-Process Inventory, Ending                          10,200

Totals                                                        $75,840 $75,840

Thus, the amount of direct materials used by Conrad, Incorporated is $29,940.
