To get ready for the end of the year audit by Deloitte & Touche, the company must reconstruct its activities for 2005. You are the manager of internal audit, and must perform the task of reconstruction. Sifting through the ashes and interviewing selected employees has turned up the following additional information:
a. The production superintendent states that manufacturing overhead cost is applied to jobs on the basis of direct-labor hours. However, he does not remember the rate currently being used by the company.
b. A charred piece of the payroll ledger, found after sifting through piles of smoking debris, indicates that 11,500 direct labor-hours were recorded for the year at $8 per hour. The company’s Personnel Department has verified that as a result of a union contract, there are no variations in pay rates among factory employees.
c. Cost sheets kept in the production superintendent’s office show that only one job was in process on December 31, at the time of the explosion. The job had been charged with $6,600 in materials, and 500 direct-labor hours (at $8 per hour) had been worked on the job.
d. According to the company’s purchasing agent, purchases of direct materials totaled $115,000 for the year.
e. Last year’s balance sheet indicated that finished goods inventory totaled $36,000 on December 31, 2004.
f. A log is kept in the finished goods warehouse showing all goods transferred in from the factory. This log shows that the cost of goods transferred into the finished goods warehouse from the factory during 2005 totaled $280,000.
f. A log is kept in the finished goods warehouse showing all goods transferred in from the factory. This log shows that the cost of goods transferred into the finished goods warehouse from the factory during 2005 totaled $280,000.
