Cost of goods manufactured = $48,000

Explanation:

Cost of goods sold = Beginning inventory + Cost of goods manufactured - Cost of Ending inventory

In the given information, the cost of goods sold = $43,000

Beginning inventory = $16,000

Ending finished goods inventory = $21,000

Thus, putting value in equations we have:

$43,000 = $16,000 + cost of goods manufactured - $21,000

$43,000 + $21,000 - $16,000 = Cost of goods sold

$48,000 = Cost of goods manufactured.
