Lease payments and utilities on the production facilities amounted to $9,600 while general, selling, and administrative expenses totaled $3,900. The company produced 6,650 units and sold 4,100 units at a price of $7.40 a unit. What is the amount of finished goods inventory on the balance sheet at year-end?

Answer 1

Answer:

Finished goods inventory final balance= 12, 495

Explanation:

PRODUCTION COST COMPONENTS

• Direct materials 12,385  
• Direct work 10,600  
• Lease and utilities 9,600

TOTAL PRODUCTION COST = 32,585

TOTAL UNITS PRODUCED = 6,650

UNIT COST= (Total Production Cost / Total Units Produced) = 32,585 / 6,650 = 4.9  

FINAL GOODS INVENTORY = (Total Units Produced – Total Units Sales) = 6,650 – 4,100 = 2,250

FINAL GOODS INVENTORY AMOUNT = (Final goods Inventory * Unit Cost) = 2,250 * 4.9 = 12,495
