Question:

On September 25, a disaster destroyed the work in process inventory for company “A”. At the time the company was in the process of manufacturing to custom jobs (B and Q); although all of the accounting records were destroyed there was some backups on an old site computer:

A company applies overhead at a rate of 85% of direct labor costs.

The cost of goods sold for the companies averages 75% of selling price. Selling for January 1, to the date of the disaster holds $1,598,000.

The company’s wage rate for production employees is $12.90 per hour. A total of 25,760 direct labor hours were recorded from January 1 through September 25.

As of September 25, $21,980 of direct material and hundred and 28 hours of direct labor had been recorded to job B ; $14,700 of direct materials and 240 hours of direct labor had been recorded to job Q.

January 1 inventories were as follows: $19,500 of raw material and $68,900 of finished goods.

Raw materials purchased during that year totaled $843,276.

The amount of work in process inventory at January 1 was $14,600 ; jobs B. and Q. we’re not in process on January 1.

One job, R was completed and in the warehouse awaiting shipment on September 25, the total cost of this job was $165,600.
