CHAPTER 2 Basic Managerial Accounting Concepts
E 2-49 (Concluded)
2. The income statement showing each account as a percentage of sales helps focus
managerial attention on those expenses that are relatively high. For Jasper, it
appears as though administrative expense is twice as large as selling expense.
E 2-50
a (Direct Materials Used in Production) = Beginning Inventory Direct Materials +
Purchases – Ending Inventory Direct Materials
a = $10,000 + $45,000 – $15,000
= $40,000
To find b, one can rearrange the Cost of Goods Manufactured equation to solve for
Direct Labor Used in Production (i.e., the unknown, or b):
Thus, in order to find b, we first need to calculate Cost of Goods Manufactured as
follows:
Cost of Goods Manufactured = Cost of Goods Sold – Beginning Finished Goods
Inventory + Ending Finished Goods Inventory
COGM = $169,000 – $8,000 + $7,000
= $168,000
Finally, inserting Cost of Goods Manufactured into the earlier equation:
b = $168,000 – $40,000 – $80,000 – $17,000 + $14,000
= $45,000
c (Direct Materials Beginning Inventory for Year 2) = Direct Materials Ending
Inventory for Year 1 = $15,000
