1. Which of the following would not be part of cost of goods manufactured?
b. raw materials purchased
c. depreciation on factory machines
d. beginning work in process
Answer
A. Finished goods inventory is not part of cost of goods manufactured. It is part of cost of goods sold.
2. If ending work in process is overstated
Answer
D. Ending work in process is subtracted in the cost of goods manufactured calculation. When it is too high, cost of goods manufactured is too low. Manufacturing overhead is not affected by work in process. If cost of goods manufactured is too low, cost of goods sold will be too low also.
3. A manufacturing company has beginning finished goods of $60,000, raw materials purchased of $20,000, cost of goods manufactured of $98,000 and ending finished goods inventory of $35,000. Sales are $120,000 and selling expenses are $32,000. Cost of goods sold is
b. $123,000
c. $88,000
d. ($10,000)
Answer
B. Cost of goods sold is calculated by using only beginning finished goods plus cost of goods manufactured less ending finished goods. (60,000 + 98,000 – 35,000 = 123,000)
4. A manufacturing company reported the following during the first year of operations:
1) Sales $500,000
 2) Gross profit $200,000
 3) Ending finished goods $15,000
What was the cost of goods manufactured during the first year?
b. $285,000
c. $300,000
d. not enough information to calculate cost of goods manufactured
Answer
A. Sales less Gross profit gives the cost of goods sold: 500,000 – 200,000 = 300,000. Beginning FG + CGM – Ending FG = CGS First year = 0 + ? – 15,000 = 300,000 Plug the equation to get 315,000 for CGM
5. Cost of goods manufactured is
b. the cost of inventory that is not available to the customer
c. reported on the income statement and the balance sheet
d. only reported on the income statement
Answer
C. The cost of goods manufactured is the cost of completed goods inventory. This is reported on the balance sheet until it is sold to the customer and then it is reported as cost of goods sold on the income statement. Both of these will occur during a given period.
- Which of the following would not be considered part of the cost of inventory?
b. all manufacturing overhead
c. costs of warehousing inventory
d. indirect materials that are too small to track to each individual product
Answer
C. Warehouse costs are period costs and are not product costs. Only product costs are included in the cost of inventory. Work in process is inventory that is not finished. Indirect materials are a part of manufacturing overhead and all manufacturing overhead is included in the cost of inventory.
