Answer 1

Answer:

$116,387

Explanation:

Opening work in process = Direct materials + Direct Labor + Overheads

= $2,400 + $6,966 + $10,104

= $19,470

Adding up all the cost for the period, we'll have;

Raw materials = $39,900 used in production

Direct labor cost = $25,110

Overheads to be applied on predetermined rate = 2,500 × $19.6

= $49,000

Total cost incurred including beginning work in process = $133,480

Less: Closing work in process $17,093

Total cost of goods manufactured = $116,387
