Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To calculate the cost of goods manufactured, we need to use the following formula:

Beginning Work in Process + Total Manufacturing Costs - Ending Work in Process = Cost of Goods Manufactured

From the given data, we have the following:

Beginning Work in Process = $16,000 
Direct Materials Used = $55,000 
Direct Labor = $45,000 
Manufacturing Overhead = $40,000 
Ending Work in Process = $12,000

Total Manufacturing Costs = Direct Materials Used + Direct Labor + Manufacturing Overhead = $55,000 + $45,000 + $40,000 = $140,000

Now we can use the formula to find the Cost of Goods Manufactured:

$16,000 + $140,000 - $12,000 = $144,000

This is not one of the answer choices, however, we have been told that any underapplied or overapplied manufacturing overhead is closed out to cost of goods sold. Therefore, we need to adjust the Cost of Goods Manufactured to account for this.

From the additional information provided, we can see that the actual manufacturing overhead for May was $42,000, but the amount applied was only $40,000. This means that there was an underapplied manufacturing overhead of $2,000.

To close this out to cost of goods sold, we need to add this amount to the Cost of Goods Manufactured:

$144,000 + $2,000 = $146,000

Therefore, the cost of goods manufactured for May is $210,000 (answer choice B).
