Answer 1

Answer:

cost of work in process= $890,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Beginning work in process inventory $ 35,000

Beginning raw materials inventory 18,000

Ending work in process inventory 38,000

Ending raw materials inventory 15,000

Raw materials purchased 560,000

Direct labor 210,000

Manufacturing overhead 120,000

To calculate the total cost of work in process, we need to use the following formula:

cost of work in process= beginning WIP + direct materials used + direct labor + allocated manufacturing overhead - Ending WIP

Direct materials used= beginning inventory + purchases - ending inventory

Direct materials used= 18,000 + 560,000 - 15,000= 563,000

cost of work in process= 35,000 + 563,000 + 210,000 + 120,000 - 38,000= 890,000
