Explanation / Answer

Direct material used : 10000beginning+20000purchased -17000ending

            = 13000

Manufacturing cost incurred during the year : Direct material used +direct labor +overhead applied

             13000+15000+16000

                 44000

Cost of goods manufactured =beginning WIP +Cost incurred during the year -ending WIP

       31000 = 11000+44000-ENding WIP

Ending WIP = 11000+44000-31000 = 24000
