Compute the cost of goods transferred out in August and the cost of work-in-process ending inventory. (Do not round intermediate calculations.)
solution:-
cost of goods transfer out:--
Existing cost of 11000 units =
$ 326200 ( $99000+ $165200+ $62000)
(A) Cost of completing incomplete units :-Materialcost $ 86680 (4400× $19.7)
Conversationcost $ 47982 (6600× $ 7.27)
Cost of 94000 unit. $ 1,73,900 (94000×$ 1.85)
Total $ 308562
