Answer:

Results are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Total manufacturing costs, $8,450,000

Manufacturing overhead allocated, $3,750,000 (allocated at a rate of 250% of direct manufacturing labor costs)

Work-in-process inventory on January 1, 2017, $390,000

Cost of finished goods manufactured, $8,020,000

First, we need to calculate the direct material and direct labor:

Direct labor= Manufacturing overhead allocated/2.5

Direct labor= 3,375,000 / 2.5

Direct labor= $1,350,000

Total manufacturing costs= Direct material + direct labor + allocated overhead

8,450,000= Direct material + 1,350,000 + 3,375,000

Direct material= $3,725,000

Finally, the ending work-in-process:

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

8,020,000= 390,000 + 8,450,000 - Ending WIP

Ending WIP= $820,000
