Question:

(Missing amounts) Riveredge Manufacturing Company realized too late that it had made a mistake locating its controller’s office and its electronic data pro¬ cessing system in the basement. Because of the spring thaw, the Mississippi River overflowed on May 2 and flooded the company’s basement. Electronic data stor¬ age was beyond retrieval, and the company had not provided off-site storage of data. Some of the paper printouts were located but were badly faded and only partially legible. On May 3, when the river subsided, company accountants were able to assemble the following factory-related data from the debris and from discussions with various knowledgeable personnel. Data about the following ac¬ counts were found:

■ Raw Material (includes indirect material) Inventory: Balance April 1 was $4,800.

■ Work in Process Inventory: Balance April 1 was $7,700.

* Finished Goods Inventory: Balance April 30 was $6,600.

■ Total company payroll cost for April was $29,200. m Accounts payable balance April 30 was $18,000.

■ Indirect material used in April cost $5,800.

■ Other nonmaterial and nonlabor overhead items for April totaled $2,500.

Payroll records, kept at an across-town sendee center that processes the company’s payroll, showed that April’s direct labor amounted to $18,200 and represented 4,400 labor hours. Indirect factory labor amounted to $5,400 in April.

The president’s office had a file copy of the production budget for the current year. It revealed that the predetermined manufacturing overhead appli¬ cation rate is based on planned annual direct labor hours of 50,400 and expected factory overhead of $151,200.

Discussion with the factory superintendent indicated that only two jobs remained unfinished on April 30. Fortunately, the superintendent also had copies of the job cost sheets that showed a combined total of $2,400 of direct material and $4,500 of direct labor. The direct labor hours on these jobs totaled 1,072. Both of these jobs had been started during the current period.

A badly faded copy of April’s Cost of Goods Manufactured and Sold sched¬ ule showed cost of goods manufactured was $48,000, and the April 1 Finished Goods Inventory was $8,400.

The treasurer’s office files copies of paid invoices chronologically. All in¬ voices are for raw material purchased on account. Examination of these files revealed that unpaid invoices on April 1 amounted to $6,100; $28,000 of pur¬ chases had been made during April; and $18,000 of unpaid invoices existed on April 30.
