Question

Toan Inc. uses a job-order costing system in which any underapplied or overapplied overhead is closed to cost of goods sold at the end of the month. In September the company completed job S80M that consisted of 23,000 units of one of the company's standard products. No other jobs were in process during the month. The job cost sheet for job S80M shows the following costs:
Beginning balance $ 66,700
Direct materials $494,500
Direct labor cost $158,700
Manufacturing overhead cost applied $269,100

During the month, the actual manufacturing overhead cost incurred was $270,020 and 3,000 completed units from job S80M were sold. No other products were sold during the month.

The unadjusted cost of goods sold (in other words, the cost of goods sold BEFORE adjustment for any underapplied or overapplied overhead) for September is closest to:

Answer 1

Answer:

$129,000

Explanation:

The computation of the unadjsuted cost of goods sold is shown below:

Before that we need to compute the total cost and cost per unit which are as follows

Total cost

= Beginning balance + Direct materials + Direct labor + Manufacturing overhead cost applied

= $66,700 + $494,500 + $158,700 + $269,100

= $989,000

And, Units completed is 23,000 units

So, the cost per unit is

= Total cost ÷ Number of units completed

= $989,000 ÷ 23,000 units

= $43

And, the number of units sold is 3,000 units

So, the cost of good sold unadjusted is

= Number of units sold × cost per unit

= 3,000 units × $43

= $129,000
