Answer 1

Answer:

a. Compute cost of goods sold for January  

$296,000  

b. What is the value of work-in-process inventory on January 31?  

$ 27,200  

Explanation:

Total Cost   Unit Sold  

$221,200   $165,000   Materials  

$22,000   -$17,000   Labor  

$80,000   -                Manufacturing overhead  

$323,200   $148,000  

• a. Compute cost of goods sold for January        

Equivalent completed units in ending work-in-process inventory      17.000 x 80%  =   $13,600  

Equivalent units produced   148.000 +  13.600  = 161.600  Units

Per equivalent unit    $323,200  / 161.600 =  $2,00  

Cost of Goods Sold    148.000 / 2,00 = $296,000  

• b. What is the value of work-in-process inventory on January 31?    

Equivalent completed units in ending work-in-process inventory    

13.600 x  $2,00 = $27,200

Or it's possible to do it  

$323,200  -   $296,000 = $ 27.200
