Expert Answer

 

Answer
Item Amount
Direct Materials Used in Production $132,700
Direct Labour $78,800
Manufacturing Overhead applied $94,560
Current Manufacturing Costs $306,060
Add : Beginning Work in process Inventory $13,200
Less : Ending Work in process Inventory $16,500
Cost of goods Manufactured $302,760
Add : Beginning Finished Goods Inventory $37,000
Less : Ending Finished Goods Inventory $33,300
Unadjusted Cost of goods sold $306,460
Overhead adjustment (underapplied) $14,540
Adjusted cost of goods sold $321,000
Adjusted Cost of goods sold = Sales – Gross profit = $450400 – $129400 = $3,21,000
Direct Labour = Manufacturing overhead applied / 120% = $94560/120% = $78,800
Ending work in process inventory = $13200*125% = $16,500
Ending Finished Goods Inventory = $37000 *90% = $33,300
