Compute the total manufacturing costs using the following information. raw materials inventory, january 1 $ 2 raw materials inventory, december 31 4 work in process, january 1 18000 work in process, december 31 12000 finished goods, january 1 4 finished goods, december 31 32000 raw materials purchases 168 direct labor 76 factory utilities 15 indirect labor 5 factory depreciation 4 operating expenses 42

Cost of goods manufactured   3,446,000

Cost of Goods Sold          3,454,000

Explanation:

First, we calcualte the values for the three main cost components:

materials, labor and overhead.

Raw materials

beginning                     20,000

purchases                 1,680,000

Ending                        (40,000)

Used in Produciton 1,660,000

Direct Labor              760,000

utilities                            150,000

indirect labor                  50,000

depreciation                400,000

operating expenses    420,000  

total overhead           1,020,000

Total cost added:

materials   1,660,000

labor            760,000

overhead 1,020,000

total          3,440,000

Then, we calculate the COGM cost of goods manufactured.

WIP                                                   18,000

cost added                                3,440,000

WIP ending                                    (12,000)  

Cost of goods manufactured   3,446,000

And finally, the cost of goods sold.

Finished goods beginning  40,000

COGM                              3,446,000

ending                                 (32,000)  

Cost of Goods Sold          3,454,000

(i know i'm late but the answer's "things about yourself" because you want to list things you're capable of, why you want to open up the business, the amount of money you're putting into it,etc.) i'm guessing you take online school small business, the answers to the quizzes are all over quizlet. just look up your question and type quizlet after it and it'll pop up.
