Manufacturing overhead d. Work in process beginning and ending balances - Correct Answers: Cost of goods manufactured: Add the following or subtract when indicated Beginning work in process Beginning raw materials Plus purchases Less ending raw materials Direct labor Overhead costs Less ending work in process -costs that are matched with the revenue of a specific time period and charged to expense as incurred a.
