A new computer virus (AcctBGone) destroyed most of the companyrecords at BackupsRntUs. The computer experts at the company couldrecover only a few fragments of the company’s factory ledger forMarch as follows:

Direct Materials Inventory
BB(3/1) 90,700
Work-In-Process Inventory
BB(3/1) 27,400
Finished Goods Inventory
EB(3/31) 66,100
Costof Goods Sold
Manufacturing Overhead Control
Accounts Payable
54,600 EB(3/31)


Further investigation and reconstruction from other sources yieldedthe following additional information:

The controller remembers clearly that actual manufacturingoverhead costs are recorded at $19 per direct labor-hour. (Thecompany assigns actual overhead to Work-in-Process Inventory.)

The production superintendent’s cost sheets showed only one jobin Work-in-Process Inventory on March 31. Materials of $15,700 hadbeen added to the job, and 300 direct labor-hours had been expendedat $34 per hour.

The Accounts Payable are for direct materials purchases only,according to the accounts payable clerk. He clearly remembers thatthe balance in the account was $35,600 on March 1. An analysis ofcanceled checks (kept in the treasurer’s office) shows thatpayments of $252,900 were made to suppliers during the month.

The payroll ledger shows that 5,400 direct labor-hours wererecorded for the month. The employment department has verified thatthere are no variations in pay rates among employees (thisinfuriated Steve Fung, who believed that his services wereunderpaid).

Records maintained in the finished goods warehouse indicate thatthe finished goods inventory totaled $109,000 on March 1.

The cost of goods manufactured in March was $564,100.

a. Work-in-process inventory, March 31.
