The following information is from ABC Company's general ledger: Beginning and ending inventories, respectively, for raw materials were $16,000 and $20,000 and for work in process were $40,000 and $44,000. Raw material purchases and direct labor costs incurred were $72,000 each, and manufacturing overhead applied amounted to $40,000. Determine the total cost of goods manufactured during the period.

cost of goods manufactured= $176,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Direct materials:

Beginning inventory= $16,000

Ending inventory= $20,000

Purchase= $72,000

WIP:

Beginning inventory= $40,000

Ending inventory= $44,000

Direct labor= $72,000

Manufacturing overhead applied= $40,000

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

Direct material used= beginning inventory + purchases - ending inventory

Direct material used= 16,000 + 72,000 - 20,000= 68,000

cost of goods manufactured= 40,000 + 68,000 + 72,000 + 40,000 - 44,000

cost of goods manufactured= $176,000
