€œI know I€™m a pretty good scientist, but I guess I still have some things to learn about running a business,€ said Staci Morales, founder and president of Medical Technology, Inc. €œDemand has been so strong for our heart monitor that I was sure we€™d be profitable immediately, but just look at the gusher of red ink for the first quarter. At this rate we€™ll be out of business in a year.€ The data to which Staci was referring are shown below:

Medical Technology was organized on April 1 of the current year to produce and market a revolutionary new heart monitor. The company€™s accounting system was set up by Staci€™s brother-in-law who had taken an accounting course about 10 years ago. €œWe may not last a year if the insurance company doesn€™t pay the $227,000 it owes us for the 4,000 monitors lost in the truck accident last week,€ said Staci. €œThe agent says our claim is inflated, but that€™s a lot of baloney.€ Just after the end of the quarter, a truck carrying 4,000 monitors wrecked and burned, destroying the entire load. The monitors were part of the 20,000 units completed during the quarter ended June 30. They were in a warehouse awaiting sale at quarter-end and were sold and shipped on July 3 (this sale is not included on the income statement above). The trucking company€™s insurer is liable for the cost of the goods lost. Staci€™s brother-in-law has determined this cost as follows:

The following additional information is available on the company€™s activities during the quarter ended June 30:
a. Inventories at the beginning and end of the quarter were as follows:

b. Eighty percent of the rental cost for facilities and 90% of the utilities cost relate to manufacturing operations. The remaining amounts relate to selling and administrative activities.
