On April 12, after the close of business, Singh & Sons had a devastating fire that destroyed the company’s work-in-process and finished-goods inventories. Fortunately, all raw materials escaped damage because materials owned by the firm were stored in another warehouse. The following information is available:

Sales revenue through April 12 $ 340,000
Income before taxes through April 12 68,000
Direct labor through April 12 120,000
Cost of goods available for sale, April 12 285,000
Work-in-process inventory, January 1 21,000
Finished-goods inventory, January 1 35,000
Gross margin 30 % of sales

The firm’s accountants determined that the cost of direct materials used normally averages 25 percent of prime costs (i.e., direct material + direct labor). In addition, manufacturing overhead is 50 percent of the firm’s total production costs.


Required:
