of goods sold of $331,500; an adjusted cost of goods sold of $328,200; and
net income of $45,000

Calculate ABC Company's utilities cost for 2019.

Answer 1

cost of goods manufactured =Unadjusted cost of goods sold +Ending FG - Beginning FG

         = 331500+35000-38000

        = 328500

Total manufacturing cost = Ending WIP +Cost of goods manufactured- beginning WIP

                      = 41000+328500 -22000

                       = 347500

Direct material used: 50000+122000- 36000 = 136000

Direct labor cost : x"

Overhead applied :x *125% =1.25x

Total manufacturing cost =Direct material +direct labor +overhead

              347500 = 136000 +x +1.25x

              347500-136000= 2.25x

                x = 94000

Direct labor cost : 94000

Overhead applied : 94000*1.25% = 117500

Overhead overapplied :331500-328200=3300

Actual overhead :   117500-3300 = 114200

Actual overhead :utilities factory +Indirect material +supervisor salary

114200 =U +11000 +57000

Utilities factory : 46200                 [which represent 60% itself ]

Utilities cost for 2019 = 46200 /.60 = $ 77000
