overhead costs to jobs using a plant-wide rate of 60%
of direct materials cost. ABC Company had four jobs in
process at June 1 (Jobs #1, #2, #3, and #4). Information
related to the four jobs appears below:
                                   Job #1       Job #2
beginning work in process .....    $2,500       $1,900

By the end of June, Jobs 2 and 3 had been completed. In
addition, 1,100 of the units from Job 2 have been sold
and 700 of the units from Job 3 were sold. Assume Job 2
consisted of a total of 1,600 units and Job 3 consisted
of a total of 2,000 units. The actual overhead cost for
June totaled $1,590. 
Calculate ABC Company's finished goods inventory balance
