Assignment: MANAGERIAL CASE

The Riley Company produces a product by sending it through two processes.

One of which takes place in Department A and the other in Department B. All of A's output is transferred to B. In addition to the goods in process inventories in Departments A and B, Riley maintains inventories of raw materials and finished goods. Riley uses its raw materials as direct materials in

Departments A and B, and as indirect materials. Its factory payroll costs also include direct labor in each department and indirect labor.

In this problem, you are to maintain certain records and produce various measures of the inventories to reflect the events of March 2016. Round all calculations of Unit costs to the nearest penny and all other dollar amounts to the nearest whole dollar. To begin, set up the following general ledger accounts and enter their February 28 balances:

Raw Materials                                                $20,000
Factory Payroll                                                   -0-
Factory Overhead                                               -0-
Goods in Process-Department A.                    25,000
Goods in Process-Department B.                    65,000
Finished Goods                                              185,000
Cost of Goods Sold                                            -0-
