The correct answer to this open question is the following.
The statement, if true, that would explain the analysts' predictions would be "the Producer Price Index has been steadily increasing over the past few months."
That is what would have been the factor that supports the forecast. Although inflation has been constant at low levels, what changed was the Producer Price Index that is moving up.

Answer:
$81,500
Explanation:
As per the data given in the question,
The computation of the cost of goods manufactured is shown below:
Before that first we need to do following calculations
Direct material = $12,000 + $23,000
= $35,000
Direct labor = $11,000 + $20,000
= $31,000
Overhead applied = 50% of direct labor
= 50%×$31,000
= $15,500
Cost of goods manufactured = Direct material + Direct labor + Overhead applied
= $35,000 +$31,000 + $15,500
= $81,500
