At the end of May 20X8, KRAFT ‘R’ US reported the following inventories:

Materials Inventory bal. $208,000                     WIP Inventory bal:$176,000      Finished Goods Inventory bal: 95,000

During June 20X8, KRAFT ‘R’ US actually used 3,000 direct labour hours and recorded the following transactions.

 

(i)

$310,000

(ii)

Manufacturing wages incurred   

$400,000

(iii)
