Answer Details
To calculate the cost of manufactured goods, we need to find the total cost of production during the period. Total cost of raw materials = opening stock + purchase - closing stock Total cost of raw materials = ₦2,250 + ₦15,000 - ₦3,000 = ₦14,250 Total direct wages = ₦17,100 Total indirect wages = ₦5,400 Total wages = ₦17,100 + ₦5,400 = ₦22,500 Total manufacturing cost = raw materials + direct wages + indirect wages Total manufacturing cost = ₦14,250 + ₦22,500 = ₦36,750 Cost of manufactured goods = total manufacturing cost + opening work-in-progress - closing work-in-progress Cost of manufactured goods = ₦36,750 + ₦1,875 - ₦3,375 = ₦35,250 Therefore, the cost of manufactured goods is ₦35,250.
