A company started the year with $185,000 of goods finished and ready for sale. During the year, a total of $700,000 of goods were started in production. Of the goods started, $550,000 were finished during the year. If total cost of goods sold for the year equals $625,000, the company's ending finished goods inventory equals Blank______. Multiple choice question. $110,000 $75,000 $150,000 $260,000

$110,000 Reason: Beginning finished goods ($185,000) + transferred to finished goods ($550,000) - cost of goods sold ($625,000) = ending finished goods inventory ($110,000)

Given the following, calculate cost of goods sold: Inventories: Beginning Ending Direct materials $300 $250 Work in process $400 $200 Finished goods $500 $350 Direct material purchases $4,200 Direct labor $3,000 Manufacturing overhead $5,000 Multiple choice question. $12,600 $12,450 $12,300 $12,200

$12,600 Reason: Cost of goods manufactured: Beginning WIP inventory ($400) + Direct materials put into production ($300 + $4,200 - $250 = $4,250) + Direct labor ($3,000) + O/H ($5,000) - Ending WIP inventory ($200) = $12,450. Cost of goods sold = Beginning FG inventory ($500) + COGM ($12,450) - Ending FG inventory ($350) = $12,600

A company had the following inventories during the year: Inventories: Beginning Ending Direct materials $200 $150 Work in process $300 $250 Finished goods $400 $350 If total direct materials purchased was $2,850, the direct materials put into production for the year were what amount? Multiple choice question. $2,900 $3,050 $2,500 $3,200

$2,900 Reason: Beginning direct materials ($200) + purchases ($2,850) - direct materials put into production = ending direct materials ($150) Direct materials put into production = $200 + $2,850 - $150 = $2,900

Given the following, calculate cost of materials put into production. Inventories: Beginning Ending Direct materials $300 $250 Work in process $400 $200 Finished goods $500 $350 Direct material purchases $4,200 Direct labor $3.000 Manufacturing overhead $5,000 Multiple choice question. $4,250 $4,450 $4,200 $4,150

$4,250 Reason: Direct materials put into production: $300 + $4,200 - $250 = $4,250
