The manufacturing equipment had a $4,000 salvage value and an expected useful life of six years. The company paid $12,000 for salaries of administrative personnel and $21,000 for wages to production personnel. Finally, the company paid $26,000 for raw materials that were used to make inventory. All inventory was started and completed during the year. Stuart completed production on 10,000 units of product and sold 8,000 units at a price of $9 each in year 1.

Assets = $107,200

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Cash Account

Common stock $89,000

Furniture            (32,000)

Equipment         (40,000)

Salaries               (12,000)

Wages                (21,000)

Raw materials   (26,000)

Sales                   72,000

Cash balance  $30,000

Inventory:

Cost = $26,000

Units produced = 10,000 units

Cost per unit = $2.60 ($26,000/10,000)

Cost of goods sold = 8,000 * $2.60 = $20,800

Ending inventory = 2,000 * $2.60 = $5,200

Sales Revenue = 8,000 * $9 = $72,000

Assets:

Cash                     $30,000

Ending inventory     5,200

Furniture               32,000
