Work in process inventory, beginning of the year $ 50,000 Cost of direct materials used 260,000 Direct labor cost applied to production 135,000 Cost of finished goods manufactured 897,750 Overhead assigned to production was $500,000. Compute the amount of the work in process inventory on hand at year-end.

Answer 1

Answer:

47,250  

Explanation:

The manufacturing costs in the year is the sum of work in process inventory, at the beginning of the year, the cost of direct materials, the direct cost of labor and the overhead assigned to production as computed thus:

manufacturing costs=50,000+260,000+135,000+500,000

manufacturing costs=945,000

amount of the work in process inventory on hand at year-end=manufacturing costs-cost of finished goods manufactured

amount of the work in process inventory on hand at year-end=945,000-897,750= 47,250
