Answer 1

Answer:

a. $8,600

Explanation:

The cost of goods manufactured equation is the sum of the total manufacturing costs (i.e all direct materials, direct labor, and factory overhead) and the beginning work in process inventory also subtracting the ending goods in process inventory.

The total raw materials was $8600 of which $6000 was debited to work in process and $2600 was debited to manufacturing overhead. The work in process is the cost of direct materials, hence the cost of good manufactured is given as the total raw materials which is $8600
