Maurice Hughes · Answer 1

Cost of goods sold is $9,620

Explanation:

First step prepare the Cost of Goods Manufactured Account

Direct materials $ 9,100

Direct labor $ 2,800

Manufacturing overhead applied $ 4,800

Total Manufacturing Costs $16,700

Add Opening Work In Process $ 5,800

Less Closing Work In Process $ 0

Cost of Goods Manufactured $22,500

Next we need to calculate the cost of goods sold as follows:

Opening Finished Goods Inventory $0

Add Cost of Goods Manufactured $22,500

Less Closing Finished Goods Inventory ($12,500)

Cost of goods sold $10,000

Less Over-applied Overheads ($380)

Adjusted Cost of goods sold $9,620

Finished Goods Inventory = $22,500 * 100/180

= $12,500

Thus Cost of goods sold is $9,620
