Reconstructing missing data. A severe tornado struck the only manufacturing plant of Kansas Rollerblades, Inc., just after midnight on December 1. All the work-in-process inventory was destroyed, but a few records were salvaged from the wreckage and from the company's headquarters. The insurance company has stated that it will pay the cost of the lost inventory if adequate documentation can be supplied. The insurable value of work-in- process inventory consists of direct materials, direct labor, and applied overhead.
The following information about the plant appears on the financial statements at the company's headquarters. This information pertains to the October before the tornado.
