Determine ending inventory balances (Learning Objectives 5)
Unique Displays designs and manufactures displays used in mobile devices. Serious flooding throughout the region affected Unique Displays’ facilities. Inventory was completely ruined, and the company’s computer system, including all accounting records, was destroyed.

- Raw materials, $75,000
- Work in process, $226,000
- Finished goods, $213,000
He remembers several schedules he learned in college that may help him get started.
