Inventory Estimates; Partial Data
On April 12, after the close of business, Singh & Sons had a devastating fire that destroyed the company's work-in-process and finished-goods inventories. Fortunately, all raw materials escaped damage because materials owned by the firm were stored in another warehouse. The following information is available:
Sales revenue through April 12 | $330,000 |
Income before taxes through April 12 | 68,000 |
Direct labor through April 12 | 120,000 |
Cost of goods available for sale, April 12 | 275,000 |
Work-in-process inventory, January 1 | 21,000 |
Finished-goods inventory, January 1 | 37,000 |
Gross margin | 30% of sales |
The firm's accountants determined that the cost of direct materials used normally averages 25 percent of prime costs (i.e.. direct material + direct labor). In addition, manufacturing overhead is 50 percent of the firm's total production costs.
Required: Singh & Sons is in the process of negotiating a settlement with its insurance company. Prepare an estimate of the cost of work-in-process and finished-goods inventories that were destroyed by the fire.
