Answer 1

Answer:

b. $226,000

Explanation:

Cost of goods sold is the direct expense incurred in producing goods to be sold in a period. It involves direct labor, direct material, and overheads.  

Cost of good sold is determined by

Beginning stock + purchases - closing stock.

In this case, the costs of goods sold will be Direct labor + Direct materials + overheads. + (ending - beginning work in progress)

i.e., = $35,000 + $73,000+ $114,000 + $ 4000

=$226,000
