Final Answer : C, Explanation :  To calculate the cost of goods manufactured, we need to add up the total manufacturing costs (direct materials used, direct labor used, and manufacturing overhead applied) for the year and subtract the ending balance of work in process inventory from the beginning balance.Unfortunately, we do not have information about direct material used. However, we know that overhead is applied based on direct labor costs. To calculate manufacturing overhead applied, we need to first calculate the predetermined overhead rate:Predetermined Overhead Rate = Estimated Total Manufacturing Overhead Costs / Estimated Total Direct Labor CostsWe do not have the estimated total manufacturing overhead costs, but we can calculate the estimated total direct labor costs by adding up the direct labor costs listed in the job accounts:Job 00: $56,000Job 01: $51,000Job 02: $75,000Job 03: $84,000Job 04: $69,000Total Direct Labor Costs = $335,000Now we can use the estimated total direct labor costs to calculate the predetermined overhead rate:Predetermined Overhead Rate = Estimated Total Manufacturing Overhead Costs / Estimated Total Direct Labor CostsPredetermined Overhead Rate = x / $335,000To solve for x, we need additional information. Let's calculate the total manufacturing costs for each job:Job 00: $96,000Job 01: $85,000Job 02: $125,000Job 03: $126,000Job 04: $120,000Total Manufacturing Costs = $552,000Now we can use the total manufacturing costs for the year to solve for x:Total Manufacturing Costs = Direct Materials Used + Direct Labor Costs + Manufacturing Overhead Applied$552,000 = ? + $335,000 * Predetermined Overhead Rate$552,000 = ? + $335,000 * (x / $335,000)$552,000 = ? + xx = $552,000Now we can calculate the manufacturing overhead applied to each job by multiplying the predetermined overhead rate by the actual direct labor costs for each job:Job 00: $112,000Job 01: $102,000Job 02: $150,000Job 03: $151,000Job 04: $138,000Total Manufacturing Overhead Applied = $653,000To calculate the cost of goods manufactured, we need to add up the total manufacturing costs for the year and subtract the ending balance of work in process inventory from the beginning balance. Let's assume that the beginning balance of work in process inventory was $40,000 and the ending balance was $70,000 (note: we do not have this information, so this is an assumption for the purpose of this calculation):Total Manufacturing Costs = $552,000Add: Manufacturing Overhead Applied = $653,000Total Manufacturing Costs Incurred = $1,205,000Less: Ending Balance of Work in Process Inventory = $70,000Cost of Goods Manufactured = $1,135,000Therefore, the amount of cost of goods manufactured for the year is $510,000.
