B) $23,800
C) $30,300
D) $49,200

Answer 1

Answer:

correct option is C) $30,300

Explanation:

solution first we find Manufacturing Overhead Allocated that is express as

Manufacturing Overhead Allocated = 130% × Direct Labor Cost incurred     .............1

Manufacturing Overhead Allocated = 130% × $77,000

Manufacturing Overhead Allocated = $100,100

and  Direct Material  is

Direct Material = Cost of Materials requisitioned - Indirect Materials     .......................2

Direct Material = $51,000 - 4,500

Direct Material = $46,500

and

so Total Cost added to Work in Process will be

Total Cost added to Work in Process = Direct Materials + Direct Labor + Manufacturing Overhead       ...................3

Total Cost added to Work in Process = $46,500 + 77,000 + 100,100

Total Cost added to Work in Process = $223,600

and

Balance in Work in Process Inventory = Total Cost added to Work in Process – Cost of goods manufactured + Beginning Inventory    ..................4

Balance in Work in Process Inventory = $223,600 – 223,000 + 29,700

Balance in Work in Process Inventory = $30,300

so correct option is C) $30,300
