B) $ 485 $ 170

Explanation

The cost of goods manufactured includes all the manufacturing costs in a given period adjusting for changes in work in process balances. The total manufacturing costs are $ 630 but this results in an increase in work in process inventory by $ 145, so in other words, part of the total manufacturing costs have gone towards increasing the work in process balance.

So the cost of goods manufactured is $ 630 - $ 145 = $ 485.

The cost of goods sold is the cost of goods manufactured above adjusted for changes in finished goods.

so the cost of goods sold is $ 485 - $ 315 (change in finished goods inventory) = $ 170.
