The cost of goods manufactured was $ 673 comma 000. What is the balance in theâ Work-in-Process Inventory account on Decemberâ 31?

Answer 1

Answer:

$595,000

Explanation:

We know that

Cost of goods manufactured = Work in process opening balance + Manufacturing cost - Work in process closing balance

where manufacturing cost equal to

= Direct material used + Direct labor cost + Manufacturing Overhead cost

= $250,000 + $70,000 + $826,000

= $1,146,000

So, the Work in process closing balance would be

$673,000 = $122,000 + $1,146,000 - Work in process closing balance

So, the Work in process closing balance would be $595,000
