Hoochie [10]

Answer:

Instructions are listed below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Direct material:

beginning inventory= $1,000

purchases= $20,000

ending inventory= $1,500.

beginning inventory of work-in-process (WIP) was $5,000

ending inventory of WIP was $6,700.

Its cost of direct labor was $12,000, manufacturing overhead $11,000.

Its beginning inventory of finished goods was $3,000, the ending inventory of finished goods was $1,300.

A) Direct material used= beginning inventory + purchases - ending inventory

DM used= 1,000 + 20,000 - 1,500= 19,500

B) cost of goods manufactured= beginning WIP + direct materials + direct labor + allocated manufacturing overhead - Ending WIP

cost of goods manufactured= 5,000 + 19,500 + 12,000 + 11,000 - 6,700= $40,800

C) COGS= beginning finished inventory + cost of goods manufactured - ending finished inventory

COGS= 3,000 + 40,800 - 1,300= $42,500

pashok25 [27]

Answer:

Cost per machine = $2,440 per machine

Explanation:

Provided Information

Opening work in process = $23,000

Additions during the month

Direct Materials = $24,000

Direct Labor = $17,000

Manufacturing Overheads = $14,000

Total during the month = $55,000

Closing work in process = $17,000

Cost of manufacturing during the month = Opening + Additions - Closing

= $23,000 + $55,000 - $17,000 = $61,000

Number of machines produced = 25 machines

Cost per machine = $61,000/ 25 = $2,440 per machine
