Power Switch, Inc. designs and manufactures switches used in telecommunications. Serious flooding throughout North Carolina affected Power Switch鈥檚 facilities. Inventory was completely ruined, and the company鈥檚 computer system, including all accounting records, was destroyed.
Before the disaster recovery specialists clean the buildings, Stephen Plum, the company controller, is anxious to salvage whatever records he can to support an insurance claim for the destroyed inventory. He is standing in what is left of the accounting department with Paul Lopez, the cost accountant.

鈥淒on鈥檛 worry about beginning inventory numbers,鈥 responds Stephen, 鈥渨e鈥檒l get them from last year鈥檚 annual report. We need first-quarter cost data.鈥

All I can make out is that for the first quarter, direct material purchases were \(476,000 and direct labor, manufacturing overhead, and total manufacturing costs to account for were \)505,000, \(245,000, and \)1,425,000, respectively. Wait! Cost of goods available for sale was \(1,340,000.鈥
鈥淕reat,鈥 says Stephen. 鈥淚 remember that sales for the period were approximately \)1,700,000. Given our gross profit of 30%, that鈥檚 all you should need.鈥
Paul is not sure about that but decides to see what he can do with this information. The beginning inventory numbers were:
鈥 Direct Materials, \(113,000
鈥 Work-in-Process, \)229,000
鈥 Finished Goods, $154,000
Requirements
1. Prepare a schedule showing each inventory account and the increases and decreases to each account. Use it to determine the ending inventories of Direct Materials, Work-in-Process, and Finished Goods.
