Step-by-step solution

Finished goods inventory

Finished goods inventory means the inventory which is completed in manufacturing in all aspects. The goods which are ready to sale in the market is known as the finished goods.

Finished goods inventory

$$\begin{gathered} \mathbf{finished}\mathbf{}\mathbf{goods}\mathbf{}\mathbf{=}\mathbf{}\mathbf{total}\mathbf{}\mathbf{cost}\mathbf{}\mathbf{of}\mathbf{}\mathbf{job}\mathbf{}\mathbf{142}\mathbf{}\mathbf{+}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{total}\mathbf{}\mathbf{cost}\mathbf{}\mathbf{of}\mathbf{}\mathbf{job}\mathbf{}\mathbf{143} \\ \mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{=}\mathbf{\$}\mathbf{37}\mathbf{,}\mathbf{000}\mathbf{+}\mathbf{\$}\mathbf{48}\mathbf{,}\mathbf{000} \\ \mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{}\mathbf{=}\mathbf{\$}\mathbf{85}\mathbf{,}\mathbf{000} \end{gathered}$$

When the production is completed, the company records it by debiting the finished goods inventory with the amount of total cost incurred on production and by crediting the work in process account.
