Answer:
Beginning WIP= 122,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Cost of goods manufactured= $524,000
Ending work in process= $79,000
Raw materials used in the production of $89,000
Direct labor of $145,000
Manufacturing overhead of $247,000
To calculate the beginning work in process we need to use the cost of goods manufactured formula:
cost of goods manufactured= beginning WIP + direct materials + direct labor + allocated manufacturing overhead - Ending WIP
524,000= Beginning wip + 89,000 + 145,000 + 247,000 - 79,000
Beginning WIP= 122,000
Answer: If the material is reworked and sold, Hodge Inc. has a financial disadvantage of (- 4500).
Let's see why:
1) If we sell the material at its disposal value: We have a cost of $ 74600 and the income from sale would be $ 57400 =
57400 - 74600 = (-17200). We have a loss of $17200.
2) If we rework the material we will have an original cost of $ 74600, an additional cost for reworking of $ 1500 and the income from its sale would be $ 54400 =
54400 - (74600 + 1500) = (-21700) We have a loss of $ 21700.
Then comparing the 2 situations =
(-21700) - (-17200) = -4500. There is a financial disadvantage of $4,500 if the material is reworked instead of selling it as scrap.
