Tough Hardware purchases raw materials and processes those purchases through a receiving/inspection process prior to stocking for production. Tough places three purchase orders for materials for production and receives the goods that day. The first purchase order is for 2,500 1/2" × 96" milling blanks at $2.75 each. The second is for 4,000 pieces of 48" × 96" × 1" sheet steel at $15.55 each. The third purchase order is for five 5-gallon drums of milling lubrication oil at $475.00 per barrel.?

The receiving/inspection process is completed and the goods are transferred from Receiving Inventory to Raw Materials. The Receiving/Inspection Department assigns manufacturing overhead of $55.00 per purchase order as well as $2.75 per piece on metal goods and $35.00 per container on fluids. All labor is allocated through overhead.
