D. $27,000

Explanation / Answer

Answer is option (B). $67000

Explanation;

Gross profit reported by Alistair at the end of the year, will be calculated as follow;

Formula is as follow;

Total revenues – (Cost of goods sold – unadjusted credit balance manufacturing overheads account)

Followings values are given in the question;

Total revenues ($157000 + $210000) = $367000

Cost of goods sold ($141000 + $183000) = $324000

Unadjusted credit balance manufacturing overheads account = $24000

Now let’s put the values in the formula;

$367000 – ($324000 – $24000)

$367000 – $300000 = $67000
