Raw materials                  $65,000

Work in process               27,000

Finished goods                 80,000

"The above beginning work in process consisted only of Job #02.778.  The finished goods inventory consisted of Job #01.987 ($42,500) and Job #02.665 ($37,500)."                                   

"The following descriptions summarize the various transactions that occurred during March:"                    

• Purchased $112,000 of raw materials.
• Used $117,000 of raw materials in the production process. Of this amount, $95,000 consisted of parts and other materials "directly" incorporated into ATVs. The remainder was "indirect" material for shop supplies and small dollar items that are not otherwise traceable to specific ATVs.
• Total wages and salaries were $225,000. This total was 60% attributable to direct labor, 10% to indirect labor, 5% to sales commissions, and 25% to general and administrative activities.
• Depreciation for the period totaled $28,000. Of this amount, 75% related to factory and factory related equipment, and is contemplated in the factory overhead rates. The other 25% is related to general and administrative activities.
