Question

Benson Manufacturing Company was started on January 1, 2018, when it acquired $81,000 cash by issuing common stock. Benson immediately purchased office furniture and manufacturing equipment costing $7,000 and $34,400, respectively. The office furniture had an eight-year useful life and a zero salvage value. The manufacturing equipment had a $3,600 salvage value and an expected useful life of four years. The company paid $11,100 for salaries of administrative personnel and $15,700 for wages to production personnel. Finally, the company paid $7,800 for raw materials that were used to make inventory. All inventory was started and completed during the year. Benson completed production on 4,000 units of product and sold 3,050 units at a price of $15 each in 2018.
