Compute cost of goods manufactured $

The cost of goods manufactured is $557,300

Explanation:

In order to calculate the cost of goods manufactured we would have to make the following calculation:

cost of goods manufactured=Work in process inventory 1/1+Total manufacturing costs-Work in process 12/31

Work in process inventory 1/1)= $13,500

Total manufacturing costs=Direct materials used+Direct labor+Manufacturing overhead

Total manufacturing costs=166000+220000+180000=$566,000  

Work in process 12/31=$22,200

Cost of goods manufactured=$13,500 +$566,000  -$22,200

Cost of goods manufactured= $557,300

The cost of goods manufactured is $557,300

the correct answer is:     [c]:     " cyclical unemployment " .
