Answer 1

Answer:

c. $390,000

Explanation:

WIP Beg 275,000

DM X

DL 450,000

FO 135,000 (30% of labor cost)

Cost added during the period 975,000

-FG 1,030,000

WIP ending 220,000

$Beginning WIP + added = Ending WIP+ COGM$

275,000 + added = 220,000 + 1,030,000

added = 220,000 + 1,030,000 - 275,000 = 975,000

cost added during the period:

DM + DL + FO

DM + 450,000 + 135,000 = 975,000

DM = 975,000 - 450,000 - 135,000 = 390,000
