The cost of goods manufactured for July is:

Answer 1

Total manufacturing costs = Direct materials used + Direct Labor + Manufacturing Overhead applied

Direct materials used = Beginning materials + materials purchases - Indirect materials - Ending materials

= 34,000+69,500-9,400-33,500

= 60,600

Direct labor = 94,500

Manufacturing overhead applied = 61,500

Total manufacturing costs = 60,600+94,500+61,500 =

216,600

Cost of Goods manufactured = Beginning work in process + Total manufacturing costs - Ending work in process

= 19,500 + 216,600 - 24,000

= 212, 100
