Question

Iguana, Inc., manufactures bamboo picture frames that sell for $30 each. Each frame requires 4 linear feet of bamboo, which costs $2.50 per foot. Each frame takes approximately 30 minutes to build, and the labor rate averages $14 per hour. Iguana has the following inventory policies:

• Ending finished goods inventory should be 40 percent of next month’s sales.
• Ending direct materials inventory should be 30 percent of next month’s production.

Expected unit sales (frames) for the upcoming months follow:

March	295
April	290
May	340
June	440
July	415
August	465

Variable manufacturing overhead is incurred at a rate of $0.20 per unit produced. Annual fixed manufacturing overhead is estimated to be $9,000 ($750 per month) for expected production of 5,000 units for the year. Selling and administrative expenses are estimated at $800 per month plus $0.50 per unit sold.

Of direct materials purchases, 80 percent is paid for during the month purchased and 20 percent is paid in the following month. Direct materials purchases for March 1 totaled $2,600.
