Instructions are listed below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Cost of direct materials used in production 69,000

Direct labor 27,000

Factory overhead 34,000

Work in process inventory, March 1: 15,000

Work in process inventory, March 31: 19,500

Finished goods inventory, March 1: 25,000

Finished goods inventory, March 31: 23,000

A) To calculate the cost of goods manufactured we need to use the following formula:

cost of goods manufactured= beginning WIP + direct materials + direct labor + allocated manufacturing overhead - Ending WIP

cost of goods manufactured= 15,000 + 69,000 + 27,000 + 34,000 - 19,500= $125,500

B) Now, we can calculate the cost of goods sold:

COGS= beginning finished inventory + cost of goods manufactured - ending finished inventory

COGS= 25,000 + 125,500 - 23,000= $127,500
