Question

NorthWest Corp. obtained the following information from its accounting records: Sales $70,000 Beginning Finished Goods Inventory $10,000 Ending Finished Goods Inventory $46,000 Cost of Goods Sold $22,000 Ending Work-in-Process Inventory $30,000 Calculate the Cost of Goods Manufactured for the period. Enter your answer in the following space. Show all work.

Answer 1

Answer:

Cost of goods manufactured = Cost of goods sold + Ending finished goods inventory - Beginning finished goods inventory

Cost of goods manufactured = $22,000 + $46,000 - $10,000

Cost of goods manufactured = $58,000

Explanation: In order to obtain cost of goods manufactured, we need to add cost of goods sold to ending finished goods inventory and deduct beginning finished goods inventory. Ending work-in-process inventory should be ignored because it has been considered before arriving at cost of goods manufactured.
