The cost of goods manufactured for May is:

Answer 1

Answer:

COGS= $241,000

Explanation:

First, we need to calculate the cost of goods manufactured with allocated overhead:

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

cost of goods manufactured= 28,000 + 68,000 + 98,000 + 72,000 - 23,000

cost of goods manufactured= $243,000

Now, we determine the cost of goods sold:

COGS= beginning finished inventory + cost of goods manufactured - ending finished inventory

COGS= 57,000 + 243,000 - 61,000

COGS= $239,000

Finally, we close the under/over applied overhead to COGS:

Under/over applied overhead= real overhead - allocated overhead

Under/over applied overhead= 74,000 - 72,000

Underapplied overhead= $2,000

We need to debit COGS and credit overhead:

COGS     2,000

   Manufacturing overhead      2,000

COGS= 239,000 + 2,000

COGS= $241,000
