The cost of goods sold for Michaels Manufacturing in the current year was $233,000. The January 1 finished goods inventory balance was $31,600, and the December 31 finished goods inventory balance was $24,200.
1. Cost of goods manufactured during the period was ________.

a. $288,800

b. $233,000

c. $225,600

d. $240,400

Answer 1

Answer: d. $240,400

Explanation:

To calculate the Cost of Goods sold for the year we simply add the Opening Balance of Finished goods to the Cost of Goods for the year and then subtract the Finished goods balance at year end (ending).

That would be,

= 233,000 + 31,600 - 24,200

= $240,400

$240,400 is the Cost of Goods sold for the year so Option D is correct.
