Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

1. Materials Inventory

Beginning balance 11/1  $30,000

Purchases                      120,000

less ending balance       96,000

Transfer to WIP            $54,000

2. Work-In-Process Inventory

Beginning balance 11/1   $60,000

Labor                                 90,000

Materials                           54,000

Manufacturing overhead 72,000

Less Finished Goods    (180,000)

Ending WIP                      96,000

3. Finished Goods Inventory

Beginning balance 11/1  $80,000

WIP                                 180,000

Ending balance            (120,000)

Cost of goods sold       140,000

4. Manufacturing Overhead Control $78,000

   Manufacturing overhead applied    72,000

   Under-applied overhead                 $6,000

5. Labor hours = $90,000/$30 = 3,000 hours

6. Manufacturing overhead applied = $24 * 3,000 = $72,000
