A. Cost of goods transferred to finished goods inventory is the same as cost of goods manufactured. Cost of goods manufactured is beginning WIP inventory + direct labor used + direct materials used + overheadapplied - ending WIP inventory. This answer uses actual overhead incurred instead of overhead applied and subtracts the change in finished goods inventory.
B. Cost of goods transferred to finished goods inventory is the same as cost of goods manufactured. Cost of goods manufactured is beginning WIP inventory + direct labor used + direct materials used + overhead applied - ending WIP inventory.To calculate the cost of goods manufactured/transferred to finished goods inventory, we first need to calculate direct materials used, because that is the only number we need that is not given.
Direct materials used is:
Beginning Direct Materials Inventory $ 67,000
Plus Purchases 163,000
Plus Transportation-in 4,000
Minus Purchase Returns & Allowances (2,000)
Minus Ending Direct Materials Inventory (62,000)
Direct Materials Used $170,000
Now, we can calculate the amount of WIP Inventory transferred to Finished Goods Inventory during the month, as follows:
Beginning WIP Inventory $ 145,000
Plus Direct Materials Used 170,000
Plus Direct Labor Used 200,000
Plus Overhead Applied (70% of $200,000) 140,000
Minus Ending WIP Inventory (171,000)
Cost of Goods Manufactured/Transferred to Finished Goods Inventory $484,000
C. Cost of goods transferred to finished goods inventory is the same as cost of goods manufactured. Cost of goods manufactured is beginning WIP inventory + direct labor used + direct materials used + overhead applied - ending WIP inventory. This answer subtracts the amount of change in finished goods inventory.
D. Cost of goods transferred to finished goods inventory is the same as cost of goods manufactured. Cost of goods manufactured is beginning WIP inventory + direct labor used + direct materials used + overheadapplied - ending WIP inventory. This answer uses direct materials purchased instead of direct materials used and actual factory overhead incurred instead of overhead applied.
