Crane Company has beginning work in process inventory of $124000 and total manufacturing costs of $286000. If cost of goods manufactured is $260000, what is the cost of the ending work in process inventory?
$170000.
$150000.
$98000.
$130000.
For a manufacturing business entity, we have an equation which is,
Total manufacturing cost + Beginning work in process inventory - ending work in process inventory = Cost of goods manufactured.
Total manufacturing cost = $ 286,000.
Beginning work in process = $ 124,000.
Cost of goods manufactured = $ 260,000
We need to find the value of ending work in process.
Let us assume that ending work in process inventory be ' X'. Now by applying values to the equation,
Total manufacturing cost + Beginning work in process inventory - ending work in process inventory = Cost of goods manufactured.
286,000 + 124,000 - X = 260,000
410,000 - X = 260,000
X. = 410,000 - 260,000
X. = $ 150,000.
So ending work in process inventory is calculated as $ 150,000.
Hence, option B is the correct answer.
SUMMARY:
By applying values to the given equation above we find that ending work in process inventory is $ 150,000.
Hence, option B is the correct answer.
