Answer: $178,000
Explanation:
The following information can be derived from the question:
We have to first calculate the total manufacturing cost. This will be:
Direct material 29000
Add: Direct labor 58000
Add: manufacturing overhead 82000
Then the manufacturing cost will be:
= 29000 + 58000 + 82000
= 169000
We then add the beginning work in progress and then subtract the ending work in progress. This will be:
Manufacturing cost = 169000
Add: Beginning WIP = 66000
Less: Ending WIP = 57000
= 169000 + 66000 - 57000
= $178,000
