2. Company policy calls for a given month’s ending raw materials inventory to equal 50% of the next month’s materials requirements. The March 31 raw materials inventory is 5,025 units, which complies with the policy. The expected June 30 ending raw materials inventory is 5,400 units. Raw materials cost $20 per unit. Each finished unit requires 0.50 units of raw materials.
3. Company policy calls for a given month’s ending finished goods inventory to equal 80% of the next month’s expected unit sales. The March 31 finished goods inventory is 18,000 units, which complies with the policy.
4. Each finished unit requires 0.50 hours of direct labor at a rate of $10 per hour.
5. Overhead is allocated based on direct labor hours. The predetermined variable overhead rate is $4.10 per direct labor hour. Depreciation of $30,790 per month is treated as fixed factory overhead.
