Financial Statements for Manufacturing & Merchandising Companies

Base One Equipment (BOE) and Camping Supplies International (CSI) both sell tents. BOE purchases its
tents from a manufacturer for $96 each and then sells them for $180. It purchased 10,000 tents in 20X4.
CSI produces its own tents. In 20X4 CSI produced 10,000 tents. Costs were as follows:
Direct materials purchased $570,000
Direct materials used $520,000
Direct labor 290,000
Indirect manufacturing:
Depreciation $50,000
Indirect labor 60,000
Other 40,000 150,000
Total cost of production $960,000
Assume that CSI had no beginning inventory of direct materials. There was no beginning inventory of
finished tents, but ending inventory consisted of 1,000 finished tents. Ending work-in-process inventory
was negligible.
Each company sold 9,000 tents for $1,620,000 in 20X4 and incurred the following selling and
administrative costs:
Sales salaries and commissions $105,000
Depreciation on retail store 40,000
Advertising 25,000
Other 15,000
Total selling and administrative cost $185,000
