Total Materials Issued to Production = 110,000

A. $110,000.
B. $30,000.
C. $90,000.
D. $80,000.
E. $50.000.

Answer 1

Answer:

D. $80,000

Explanation:

When costs are incurred during manufacture, they are debited to the Work In Process Account.

Note that, ABC charges direct materials to WIP and indirect materials are charged to the Factory Overhead account.

Total Direct Materials = Total Materials Issued to Production - Indirect Materials Issued to Production

therefore,

Total Direct Materials = $110,000 - $30,000 = $80,000

Conclusion :

The debit to Work-in-Process Inventory account for materials is $80,000
