Answer 1

Answer:

Option B) $19,300

Explanation:

Manufacturing Costs for the years are computed using the following formula

Manufacturing Costs = (Direct Materials + Direct Labor + Total Factory Overheads) +Beginning work in process - Ending work in process

Direct Materials                         $6,600  

Direct Labor                                 $8,600  

Total Factory Overheads         $6,700  

Direct Manufacturing Costs   $21,900  

 

Add: beginning work in process  $4,600  

Less: ending work in process  ($7,200)

 

Total Manufacturing Costs           $19,300
