Answer:
Explanation:
a. In the income statement, the total revenues and the total expenses are recorded.
If the total revenues are more than the total expenditure then the company earns net income
And, If the total revenues are less than the total expenditure then the company have a net loss
This net income or net loss would reflect in the statement of the retained earning account.
Before preparing the income statement, first, we have to compute the net loss or net income which is shown below:
= Sales - cost of good sold - selling expenses - administrative expenses
= $875,000 - $525,000 - $125,000 - $80,000
= $145,000
b. The computation of the inventory balances are shown below:
Direct material = Purchased material - used material
= $168,500 - $149,250
= $19,250
Work in progress = Used material + direct labor wages + factory overhead - transferred units
= $149,250 + $360,000 + $120,000 - $600,000
= $29,250
Finished goods = Transferred units - cost of goods sold
= $600,000 - $525,000
= $75,000
