Jonathon Stephens · Answer 1

Cost of goods sold 37,400

Explanation:

The cost of goods sold will be the sum of the three main cost component:

direct materials, direct labor and manufacturing overhead. It is important ot notice the selling and shipping cost are not part of the cost of goods sold.

direct materials 27,400

direct labor 9,600

overhead cost 4,000 (A)

Total cost of goods sold 37,400

(A) The overhead is calcualte using a predeterminate rate:

$25 per machine hour

this job used 160 machine hour

hours x rate = overhead cost

160 hours x $25 = 4,000
