Explanation:

The formula used to calculate the cost of manufactured goods in a job costing system:

COGM = direct materials + direct labor + applied overhead + beginning work in process - ending work in process

Indirect materials, indirect labor and depreciation are already included in applied overhead.

COGM = $160,000 + $140,000 + $200,000 + $34,000 - $38,000 = $496,000
