ArollaLtd. is a manufacturing company. In 2020, Arolla implemented a new accounting system to account for its raw materials. Unfortunately, the new system hasnt worked very well in some areas and, in particular, the accounting for Material XY has been a mess. The controller has asked you to have a look at the information available for Material XY and come up with the ending inventory for the fourth quarter of the year. After several days of hard work,you have obtained the following information: a)Arollauses average cost to account for its raw material inventory. Each material category is accounted for separately. The company accounts for inventory costs using a periodic accounting system and the inventory is counted near the end of each quarter. Inventory is accounted for FOB destination point;

b)At the end of the third quarter there were10,000 kilograms of Material XY on hand with a carrying amount of $75,000;

About 10% of the raw materials manager and her team's time and effort pertain to taking care of Material XY.

h)Arolla maintains an allowance for damaged and unusable inventory that it updates at the end of each quarter. At the beginning of the fourth quarter of 2020, the balance in the allowance account was $1,350.
