Explanation:

Prepare a Manufacturing Schedule to determine the Cost of Goods Manufactured.

Manufacturing Schedule

Direct Materials                                         $23,000

Direct labor costs                                      $15,000

Manufacturing overhead applied             $14,000

Add  Beginning work in process             $20,000

Less  Closing  work in process                ($14,000)

Total Cost of Machines Manufactured    $58,000

Therefore,

Cost per machine = Total Cost / Number of Machines completed

                              =  $58,000 / 25 machines

                              =  $2,320
