Question

Cost of goods sold budget Pasadena Candle Inc. budgeted production of 785,000 candles for the year. Each candle requires molding. Assume that six minutes are required to mold each candle. If molding labor costs $18 per hour, determine the direct labor cost budget for the year. Wax is required to produce a candle. Assume 487,125 pounds of material will be purchased during the year. If candle wax costs $1.24 per pound, determine the direct materials purchases for the year. Prepare a cost of goods sold budget for Pasadena Candle Inc. using the information above. Assume the estimated inventories on January 1 for finished goods and work in process were $200,000 and $41,250, respectively and direct materials wax inventory of 16,000 pounds. Also assume the desired inventories on December 31 for finished goods and work in process were $120,000 and $28,500, respectively and direct materials wax inventory of 12,500 pounds. Factory overhead was budgeted at $300,000. For those boxes in which you must enter subtracted or negative numbers use a minus sign.

Answer 1

Answer:

$2,114,125

Explanation:

Firstly, we need to calculate direct materials purchased.

Direct materials purchased for the year = Candle wax [ 487,125 pounds × $1.24 per pound]

= $604,035

Also,

Direct labor cost budget for the year

= [ 785,000 candles × 6 minutes / 60 mins per hour × $18 per hour]

= $1,413,000

Therefore,

Costs of goods sold budget

Direct materials

Opening inventory on 1 January [16,000 pounds × $1.24 per pound] = $19,840

Add: purchases

$604,035

Less: closing inventory on 31 January [12,500 pounds × $1.24 per pound] = ($15,500)

Cost of direct materials in production = $608,375

Direct labor cost

$1,413,000

Fixed overheads cost

$300,000

Opening work in progress inventory on 1 January

$41,250

Less: closing work in progress inventory on 31, January

($28,500)

Total work in progress during the period

$12,750

Opening finished goods on 1 January

$200,000

Less closing finished goods

($120,000)

$80,000

Cost of goods sold = $608,375 + $1,413,000 + $300,000 - $80,000 - $12,750

= $2,114,125
