Answer:
Explanation:
a. In the income statement, the total revenues and the total expenses are recorded. Â
If the total revenues are more than the total expenditure then the company earns net income
And, If the total revenues are less than the total expenditure then the company have a net loss
This net income or net loss would reflect in the statement of the retained earning account. Â
Before preparing the income statement, first, we have to compute the net loss or net income which is shown below:
= Sales - cost of good sold - selling expenses - administrative expenses
= $875,000 - $525,000 - $125,000 - $80,000
= $145,000
b. The computation of the inventory balances are shown below:
Direct material = Purchased material - used material
            = $168,500 - $149,250
            = $19,250
Work in progress = Used material + direct labor wages + factory overhead - transferred units
= $149,250 + $360,000 + $120,000 - $600,000
= $29,250
Finished goods = Transferred units - cost of goods sold
             = $600,000 - $525,000
             = $75,000
