To prepare the Statement of Cost of Goods Manufactured, we will go through the data step by step, starting with direct materials, labor, and factory overhead, and then computing the total manufacturing costs and cost of goods manufactured.

### Step 1: Calculate Direct Materials Used

Direct Materials Used = Beginning Materials + Materials Purchased - Ending Materials

- Beginning Materials (March 1) = $186,000
- Materials Purchased during March = $2,361,490
- Ending Materials (March 31) = $171,030

\[
\text{Direct Materials Used} = 186,000 + 2,361,490 - 171,030 = 2,376,460
\]

### Step 2: Total Factory Overhead

Factory Overhead consists of various costs. We will sum those:
- Indirect labor: $283,430
- Machinery depreciation: $186,000
- Heat, light, and power: $155,000
- Supplies: $30,910
- Property taxes: $26,570
- Miscellaneous costs: $40,480

Total Factory Overhead:
\[
283,430 + 186,000 + 155,000 + 30,910 + 26,570 + 40,480 = 722,390
\]

### Step 3: Total Manufacturing Costs

Total Manufacturing Costs = Direct Materials Used + Direct Labor + Total Factory Overhead

- Direct labor = $3,100,000

Total Manufacturing Costs:
\[
2,376,460 + 3,100,000 + 722,390 = 6,198,850
\]

### Step 4: Total Cost of Goods Manufactured

Cost of Goods Manufactured = Total Manufacturing Costs + Beginning Work in Process - Ending Work in Process

- Beginning Work in Process (March 1) = $386,080
- Ending Work in Process (March 31) = $452,070

Cost of Goods Manufactured:
\[
6,198,850 + 386,080 - 452,070 = 6,132,860
\]

### Cost of Goods Manufactured Statement

Now we can organize this into the statement format:

**Firetree Manufacturing Company**
**Statement of Cost of Goods Manufactured**
**For the Month Ended March 31**

| Line Item Description | Amount |
|----------------------------------------|-------------|
| Direct materials: | |
| Beginning materials | $186,000 |
| Add: Materials purchased during March | $2,361,490 |
| Less: Ending materials | ($171,030) |
| **Direct materials used** | **$2,376,460** |
| | |
| Direct labor | $3,100,000 |
| | |
| **Total manufacturing costs incurred** | **$5,476,460** |
| | |
| Factory overhead: | |
| Indirect labor | $283,430 |
| Machinery depreciation | $186,000 |
| Heat, light, and power | $155,000 |
| Supplies | $30,910 |
| Property taxes | $26,570 |
| Miscellaneous costs | $40,480 |
| **Total factory overhead** | **$722,390** |
| | |
| **Total manufacturing costs** | **$6,198,850** |
| | |
| Add: Beginning work in process | $386,080 |
| Less: Ending work in process | ($452,070) |
| **Cost of goods manufactured** | **$6,132,860** |

### Step 5: Cost of Goods Sold (COGS)

To find COGS, we will use:
COGS = Beginning Finished Goods + Cost of Goods Manufactured - Ending Finished Goods

- Beginning Finished Goods (March 1) = $519,210
- Ending Finished Goods (March 31) = $545,510

Calculation:
\[
COGS = 519,210 + 6,132,860 - 545,510 = 6,106,560
\]

### Final Answers
**Cost of Goods Manufactured:**
$6,132,860

**Cost of Goods Sold for March:**
$6,106,560
