    How to calculate cost of finished goods manufactured
    I am taking my first accounting class and I can't seem to get my head around this problem. Please help me. Thank you!


    Road Warrior Corporation began operations early in the current year, building luxury motor homes. During the year, the company started and completed 50 motor homes at a cost of $60,000 per unit. Of these, 48 were sold for $95,000 each and two remain in finished goods inventory. In addition, the company had six partially completed units in its factory at year-end. Total costs for the year (summarized alphabetically) were as follows:
    The total manufacturing cost is 3,397,000

    Direct materials used
    $732,000
    Direct labor
    965,000
    Income tax expense
    100,000
    General and administrative expenses
    500,000
    Manufacturing overhead
    1,700,000
    Selling expenses
    500,000
