    Calculating finished goods inventory
    Given the following data, calculate the following:

    1. Work-in-process inventory, 2/26/2009
    2. Finished Goods Inventory, 2/26/2009
    3. Direct materials inventory, 2/26/2009

    The data blow is from the period of 1/1/2009 - 2/26/2009.

    Direct Materials Purchased $ 160,000
    Work-in-process inventory, 1/1/2009 $ 34,000
    Direct materials inventory , 1/1/2009 $ 16,000
    Finished goods inventory, 1/1/2009 $ 30,000
    Manufacturing overhead costs 40% of conversion costs
    Revenues $ 500,000
    Direct manufacturing labor $ 180,000
    Prime costs $ 294,000
    Gross margin percentage based on revenues 20%
    Cost of goods available for sale $ 450,000

    I have a few other accounting based questions I really need to get answered tonight... so if anyone is up to it I really need the help.

    Sorry, just realized this was posted in the wrong forum. I'm just unsure as of how to even go about this problem as it seems like its lacking sufficient data.

    All you need to remember is the definitions:
    Prime Cost = Direct Materials Used + Direct Labor
    Conversion costs = Direct labor + Overheads
    Cost of Goods sold = Sales - Gross margin

    Now prepare a skeleton statement of cost of goods manufactured and sold. Fill in the appropriate columns.

    You must show your workings for further guidance
