Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
The formula for Cost of Goods Manufactured is:

Beginning Work in Process Inventory + Total Manufacturing Costs - Ending Work in Process Inventory

Plugging in the given values, we get:

$36,000 (beginning WIP) + $57,800 (direct materials) + $32,200 (direct labor) + $53,800 (applied overhead) - $24,000 (ending WIP) = $155,800

Therefore, the cost of goods manufactured for June was $155,800.
