Instructions are listed below

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Direct materials inventory, May 1= $ 18,000

Direct materials inventory, May 31= 15,300

Work-in-process inventory, May 1= 9,300

Work-in-process inventory, May 31= 5,600

Finished goods inventory, May 1= 54,200

Finished goods inventory, May 31= 73,000

Direct materials purchased during May= 84,800

Direct labor costs, May= 59,100

Manufacturing overhead, May= 80,800

First, we need to calculate the direct materials used in production:

Direct materials used= beginning inventory + purchase - ending inventory= 18000 + 84800 - 15300= $87500

A) prime costs= direct materials + direct labor= 87500 + 59100= $146,600

B) Conversion costs= direct labor + manufacturing overhead= 59100 + 80800= $139,900

C) Total manufacturing costs= direct material + direct labor + manufacturing overhead= 87500 + 59100 + 80800= $227,400

D) Cost of goods manufactured= Beginning work in process + total manufacturing costs - ending work in process inventory= 9300 + 227400 - 5600= $231,100

E) Cost of goods sold= beginning finished goods inventory + Cost of goods manufactured - ending finished goods inventory

COCGS= 54200 + 231100 - 73000= $212,300

reducing the scale of the market for a new product.
