Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

The correct answer is option b.

Explanation:

When foreign producers sell their goods and services in the US market they get US dollars in return. They use these dollars to buy goods and services from the US.

If import restrictions prohibit foreigners from selling various goods and services in the U.S. market, foreigners will have fewer U.S. dollars which they can spend to buy U.S. goods and services. So they will be able to purchase fewer goods and services from the US.

Rzqust [24]

Answer:

cost of goods manufactured= $167,800

Explanation:

To calculate the cost of goods manufactured, we need to use the following formula:

cost of goods manufactured= beginning WIP + direct materials + direct labor + allocated manufacturing overhead - Ending WIP

First, we need to determine the direct material used in production:

Direct material used= beginning inventory + purchases - ending inventory

Direct material used= 29,200 + 74,000 - 30,600= 72,600

cost of goods manufactured= 36,400 + 72,600 + 56,800 + 44,000 - 42,000

cost of goods manufactured= $167,800
