Harrison Industries began July with a finished-goods inventory of $48,000. The finished-goods inventory at the end of July was $56,000 and the cost of goods sold during the month was $125,000. The cost of goods manufactured during July was:

$133,000

Explanation:

The movements in the finished goods inventory balance between the start and end of a given period is usually due to goods manufactured and goods sold during the period.

This may be represented mathematically as

opening balance + cost of goods manufactured - cost of goods sold = closing balance

Hence,

$48,000 + cost of goods manufactured - $125,000 = $56,000

cost of goods manufactured = $56,000 + $125,000 - $48,000

= $133,000
