EXERCISE 2-13 (15 MINUTES)

895,000

Deduct: Work in process inventory, ending ... B

Cost of goods manufactured (see above) ... $765,000

Therefore, “A” (Raw materials inventory, ending) would be $78,000; and

“B” (Work in process inventory, ending) would be $130,000.

Sales... $1,200,000

Less cost of goods sold:

Finished goods inventory, beginning... $ 45,000

Add: Cost of goods manufactured (see above). 765,000

Goods available for sale ... 810,000

Deduct: Finished goods inventory, ending... C 720,000

Gross margin ... $ 480,000

*$1,200,000 × (100% – 40%) = $720,000.

Therefore, “C” (Finished goods inventory, ending) would be $90,000.

The procedure outlined above is just one way in which the solution to

the case can be approached. Some may wish to start at the bottom of

the income statement (with gross margin) and work upwards from that

point. Also, the solution can be obtained by use of T-accounts.
