H1	3/2	3/31	4/14	110,000
H2	3/10	4/25	4/30	75,000	18,600
H3	3/16	4/19	5/10	73,400	20,200
H4	3/25	5/1	5/9	48,000	57,300
H5	4/6	4/30	5/7		85,000

1. a) Costs in WIP as of 3/31 (0.5 point)

2. b) Costs in FG as of 4/30 (0.5 point)

3. c) COGS for April (0.5 point)

Answer 1

a. Calculation of Cost in WIP as of 3/31: To Calculate cost of WIP, we have to take Jobs not finished on 3/31. Manufacturing Job Cost as on 3/31 H2 $75,000.00 H3 $73,400.00 H4 $48,000.00 Total Cost of WIP as on 3/31 $196,400.00 b. Calculation of Cost in FG as of 4/30: Manufacturing Job Cost as on 4/30 H3 ($73400+$20200) $93,600.00 H5 $85,000.00 Total Cost of FG as of 4/30 $178,600.00 c. Calculation of Cost of Goods Sold for April: Cost of Goods Sold Job for April H1 $110,000.00 H2 ($75000+$18600) $93,600.00 Cost of Goods Sold for April $203,600.00
