Fixed overhead is incurred evenly throughout the year.
6. There is no beginning inventory of work in process. All work in process is completed in the period in which it is started. Raw materials inventory at the beginning of the year consists of 1,000 gallons of direct material at a standard cost of $0.80 per gallon. There are 400 gallons of dye in finished goods inventory at the beginning of the year carried at a stan¬ dard cost of $5.26 per gallon: direct material, $0.96; direct labor, $3.00; variable overhead, $0.30; and fixed overhead, $1.00.
7. Accounts Payable relates solely to raw material and is paid 60 percent in the month of purchase and 40 percent in the month after purchase. No discounts are given for prompt payment.
8. The dividend will be paid in January 2006.
9. A new piece of equipment costing $9,000 will be purchased on March 1, 2006. Payment of 80 percent will be made in March and 20 percent in April. The equipment has a useful life of three years and will have no salvage value.
10. The note payable has a 12 percent interest rate; interest is paid at the end of each month. The principal of the note is repaid as cash is avail¬ able to do so.
11. Color Blaze’s management has set a minimum cash balance at $5,000. Investments and borrowings are made in even $100 amounts. Invest¬ ments will earn 9 percent per year.
12. The ending finished goods inventory should include 5 percent of the next month's needs. This is not true at the beginning of 2006 due to a miscalculation in sales for December. The ending inventory of raw mate¬ rials also should be 5 percent of the next month’s needs.
13. Selling and administrative costs per month are as follows: salaries, $18,000; rent, $7,000; and utilities, $800. These costs are paid in cash as they are incurred.
