Garcia Home Improvement Company installs replacement siding, windows, and louvred glass doors for single-family homes and condominium complexes in northern New Jersey and southern New York. The company is in the process of preparing its annual financial statements for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2019, and Jim Alcide, a controller for Garcia, has gathered the following data concerning inventory.

At May 31, 2019, the balance in Garcia’s Raw Material Inventory account was $268,000

and the Allowance to Reduce Inventory to NRV had a credit balance of $10,700

Alcide summarized the relevant inventory cost and market data on May 31, 2019, in the schedule below.

Alcide assigned Patricia Devereaux, an intern from a local college, the task of calculating the amount that should appear on Garcia’s May 31, 2019, financial statements for inventory under the lower-of-cost-or-NRV rule as applied to each item in inventory. Devereaux expressed concern over departing from the cost principle.

Make sure to scroll left and right to see full question and please show work. Waterway makes two products, Simple and Complex. As their names suggest, Simple is the more basic product, and Complex comes with all the bells and whistles. The company has always allocated overhead costs to products based on machine hours. Last year, the company implemented an activity-based costing system, and managers determined the following activity pools and rates based on total overhead of $1,592,000:

Rate
Assembly $1.25 per direct labor hour
Fabrication $9.75 per machine hour
Setups $18 per batch
Bonding $262,400 direct to Complex


Only the Complex product requires bonding, so all the costs of bonding should be allocated to Complex. The following data relate to both products.

Simple Complex
Units produced 127,000 48,000
Direct labor hours 226,000 110,000
Machine hours 50,000 30,000
Batches 2,200 5,000

Using the traditional method of allocating overhead costs,

allocate overhead cost to the products.
show that the overhead assigned to each product sums to the total company overhead.
determine the overhead cost per unit for each product.
