Mila [183]

Answer:

$367,800; $391,600

Explanation:

Manufacturing overhead:

= Depreciation on plant + Factory supplies used + Property tax on plant

= 70,200 + 29,200 + 21,000

= 120,400

Total manufacturing cost:

= Material used in production + Labor cost + Manufacturing overhead

= $129,600 + 120,400 + 120,400

= 370,400

Cost of good manufactured:

= Beginning work in process + Total manufacturing cost - Ending work in process

= 14,400 + 370,400 - 17,000

= $367,800

Cost of goods sold:

= cost of goods manufactured + Beginning finished goods inventory - Ending finished goods inventory

= $367,800 + 70,200 + 46,400

= $391,600

The cost of the asset includes the cost of purchase less any given discount or tax returns and the addition of other cost incurred in making the asset available for use.

As such, the cost of the machine

= $77,000 - (5% * $77,000) + $2,000 + $4,520 + $1,350

= $81,020

The routine maintenance cost is not a part of the asset but an expense in p/l.
