Explanation / Answer

Direct materials costs = $120,000

Conversion costs = $260,000.

Process Inventory account had been assigned = $900 of costs,

Ending balance of the Finished Goods Inventory account = $1,300.

cost of good manufactured = direct material cost + conversion cost

= 120000 + 260000

= 381300

Amount charged to the Cost of Goods Sold account during August = 224545.50

Ending balance of that account = 381300 - 224545.50

= 156754.50
