Answer:
$219,000
Explanation:
For computation of cost of goods manufactured for May first we need to find out the total manufacturing cost is shown below:-
Total manufacturing cost = Direct material + Direct labor + Manufacturing overhead cost applied to Work in Process
= $60,000 + $90,000 + $64,000

= $234,000 - $15,000
= $219,000
