saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

cost of goods manufactured= $161,800

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Beginning Work in Process inventory= $41,000

Ending Work in Process inventory= $26,500

Direct materials= $58,800

Direct labor cost= $33,700.

The manufacturing overhead cost applied to Work in Process was $54,800.

<u>To calculate the cost of goods manufactured, we need to use the following formula:</u>

<u></u>

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

cost of goods manufactured= 41,000 + 58,800 + 33,700 + 54,800 - 26,500

cost of goods manufactured= $161,800

chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

24,000 units

Explanation:

Given:

Budgeted sales for January = 30,000

Budgeted sales for February = 20,000

Opening inventory in January = 7,500

Desired ending inventory = 20% of sales in February

                                        = 0.2 × 20,000

                                        = 4,000 units

Units required in January = 30,000 + 4,000

                                        = 34,000 units

Units to be produced in January = 34,000 - opening inventory

                                                   = 34,000 - 7,500

                                                   = 26,500 units

Budgeted sales for February = 20,000

Budgeted sales for March = 40,000

Opening inventory in February is closing inventory of January = 4,000

Desired ending inventory = 20% of sales in March

                                        = 0.2 × 40,000

                                        = 8,000 units

Units required in February = 20,000 + 8,000

                                        = 28,000 units

Units to be produced in February = 28,000 - opening inventory

                                                         = 28,000 - 4,000

                                                         = 24,000 units

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]
People who enjoy working with their hands might enjoy a career as a chef. The correct answer is D. Chefs are cooks, as you are well-aware, which means that they use their hands to prepare food. They are constantly using their hands while chopping vegetables, cooking, preparing dishes, so people who love using their hands as their most important tool should consider getting a job as a chef.
