Answer 1

Answer:

Cost of Goods Manufactured 805,000

Explanation:

Beginning            80,000

Materials 300,000

Labor      400,000

Overhead 175,000

Total Cost added 875,000

          Ending       (50,000)

The company has a beginning inventory, then it adds materials, labor and overhead to process the units.

All those are capitalized cost, the marketing cost are not manufacturing cost, so are ignored.

Then we have an ending WIP those are unit not yet complete, so are not completely manufactured, so we don't transfer their balance into finished goods.

Cost of Goods Manufactured

beginning WIP + cost added - ending WIP = 905,000
