On June 30, 20X1, a tornado damaged Jensen Corporation’s warehouse and factory, completely destroying the work-in-process inventory. Neither the raw materials nor finished goods inventories were damaged. A physical inventory taken after the tornado revealed the following valuations:
Raw materials …………………. $ 87,000
Work-in-process …………………. 0
Finished goods ………………… 151,000
$238,000
The inventory of January 1, 20X1, consisted of the following:
Raw materials …………………. $ 41,000
Work-in-process ………………. 128,000
Finished goods ………………… 173,000
$342,000

Raw material purchases totaled $150,000. Direct labor costs for this period were $112,000, and manufacturing overhead has historically been applied at 50% of direct labor.
