Swift Company was organized on March 1 of the current year. After five months of startup losses,management had expected to earn a profit during August, the most recent month. Management wasdisappointedI howeverI when the income statement for August also showed a loss.

SamI a new assistant in the controller's officeI preparedthe income statement above. Sam has had little experience in manufacturing operations. After seeing the$5,500 loss for August. Swift's president stated, “I was sure we'd be profitable within six months, but our sixmonths are up and this loss for August is even worse than .luly's. I think it's time to start looking forsomeone to buy out the company’s assets—if we don't, within a few months there won't be any assets tosell. By the way, I don't see any reason to look for a new controller. We'll just limp along with Sam for thetime being.“ Additional information about the company follows: a. Some 50% of the utilities cost and T553 of the insurance apply to factory operations. The remainingamounts apply to selling and administrative activities. b. Inventory balances at the beginning and end of August were as follows: Augmt 1 Augum 51Raw materials 5 25,000 5 15,000Work in process 5,000 15,000Finished goods 55,000 51,000 c.
