5. A manufacturing company incurred $50,000, $60,000 and $75,000 respectively for direct materials used, direct labor, and manufacturing overhead. Cost of goods manufactured is $195,000 and beginning work in process is $10,000. What is ending work in process?
a. $0
b. $20,000

| – Ending WIP | (8,000) |
| Cost of Goods Manufactured | 496,000 |
| Beginning finished goods | 72,000 |
| + Cost of goods manufactured | 496,000 |
| – Ending finished goods | (62,000) |
| = Cost of goods sold | 506,000 |

Determine the following:
a. direct materials purchased
b. direct labor costs incurred
c. cost of inventory completed
d. cost of goods sold
Answer
1st – set up the format and plug in the numbers that you are given and solve for the other required amounts.
Beginning Raw Materials Inventory 200 + Purchases of Raw Materials ? 380 solved - Ending Raw Materials Inventory (180) = Materials Used in Production 400 Direct labor – assembly ? 450 solved Total manufacturing overhead 350 Total manufacturing cost added this period 1200 + Beginning WIP 60 - Ending WIP (40) Cost of Goods Manufactured ? 1220 solved Beginning finished goods 250 + Cost of goods manufactured ? 1220 above = Goods available for sale 1470 - Ending finished goods (275) = Cost of goods sold ? 1195 solved 2nd – Solve for purchases of raw materials 380 a. 3rd – Solve for direct labor (1200 – 350 – 400) 450 b. 4th - Solve for cost of goods manufactured ( 1200 + 60 – 40) 1220 c. This is also called cost of inventory completed. 5th – Solve for cost of goods sold – do the math 1195 d.
