Woodward Benches Limited manufactures just one product: Park benches made exclusively from cedar lumber. The company prepares complete monthly Budgets at the beginning of each year. The company year-end is December 31st 2020. For the month of January 2021 the company has budgeted $100,000 in Sales Revenue (1,000 Benches to be sold for $100 each). It takes 20 linear feet of 1x8 cedar to manufacture 1 bench. It is expected that 1x8 cedar will cost $5.00 per linear ft in January of 2021. There were 180 benches in Finished Goods Inventory on hand at December 31st. There was 600 linear ft of cedar in Direct Materials Inventory at December 31st 2020.
