(a) Compute cost of goods manufactured.
(b) Compute cost of goods sold.

Explanation / Answer

Factory supplies used          $33,000 Property taxes on store $7,800
Since manufacturing overhead includes all those indirect costs that are incurred when a product is manufactured. These costs include Depreciation on plant, property taxes on plant and all other factory-related costs.
Preparing cost of goods sold: We know that Total manufacturing costs (+) Beginning work-in-progress (-) Ending work-in-progress ------------------------------------
Cost of goods manufactured
----------------------------------- $348,800 + $13,900 - $16,600 = $346,100 Therefore, cost of goods manufactured = $346,100 Schedule of cost of goods sold: Beginning finished goods (+) Cost of goods manufactured -------------------------------------
Goods available for sale
(-) Ending finished goods ---------------------------------- Cost of goods sold --------------------------------
By substituting the values in this above format, we can get the cost of goods sold. Beginning finished goods $66,000
Cost of goods manufactured    $346,100 --------------------------------------------------- Goods available for sale $412,100 (-) Ending finished goods    $55,900 -------------------------------------------------- Cost of goods sold $356,200 --------------------------------------------------
